Opening Bid: £5
Penannular bracelet with trumpet-shaped flaring terminals. 71 grams, 59 mm
From the shipwrecked English Schooner 'Duoro', sunk off the Isles of Scilly in 1843. Acquired on the UK art market. Property of a London, UK, antiquarian. Accompanied by the original box and certificate from The Isles of Scilly Underwater Centre.
The ship wrecked in 1843 on a voyage from Liverpool to Oporto. Manillas were used as currency in the transatlantic trade in enslaved African people, where enslaved people were traded for between 10 and 60 manillas. Manillas are also known as okpogho, ejemma, igbiki and kpugi. They were sometimes worn in African communities as body decoration, such as along the coast between modern-day Liberia and Côte d’Ivoire. Europeans later produced manillas to trade for enslaved African people, and they became a form of currency. This currency was used in parts of West Africa until it was demonetised in 1948.
