2 large figures of a black African woman/Femme Girafe, in the style of the Hagenauer Vienna workshops
50s
Traditionally, women's marital status can be recognized by their jewelry and clothing: married women wear heavy brass or copper rings around their necks, arms and legs. The heavy metal jewelry around the neck and limbs is usually worn for life. The neck rings are individual rings that have the same meaning as wedding rings. The women are given them for their wedding. The wealthier the man, the more rings the woman gets.
