Black Zebra Ebony Wood Bangle Necklace
This superb long beaded necklace is crafted from Diospyros Crassiflora, more commonly known as Black Ebony Wood, sustainably sourced in the sacred forest of 'Oro Zoun' located in Southern Benin. Carved by the skilled hands of a master-artisan, this ethereal jewellery piece transcends the very notion of time. This exquisite artefact could easily be seen adorning the neck of a Princess at the Royal Palace of Abomey or perhaps that of a modern day American socialite the likes of Nancy Cunard.

This jewellery piece is unique, authentic and certified.
The inception of jewellery craftsmanship in Benin, dates back to the Edo Empire (1440–1897), a pre-colonial African state located in what is now known as the South-South region of Nigeria which was then part of the ancient Kingdom of Dahomey. Primarily crafted from cast bronze, carved ivory or ebony wood, these objects of regalia were exclusively produced for the royal court of the Oba of Benin - a divine ruler for whom the craftsmen created a range of ceremonially significant artefacts, that continue to yield great historical significance and style to this day.
