Guess what this is a photo of!

That's why I didn't want to give hints until someone asked. It was too easy! Yes, it is an anklet that was used for money.

Now I gotta figure out something to post...

Barbara, when was this used?

 

[Barbara L]

I'm really not sure Katie. I found it here, Bakuba Anklet Money, and I found another example somewhere else.

Actually, I asked WHEN it was used. The link you offered didn't say.

That's why I said I didn't know. I just included the link to show where I got it.

Congratulations, VaporTrail, and you worked so hard at trying to guess it, too.

One of Wonder Woman's bracelets?
How about one of those neck stretcher things (keeping with the African theme)?

Having no conception/gauge for size; an ancient backbelt?

It's the base for a coffee table. Just need a glass top.

Looks like it could bee a wooden cuff bracelet.

Thats half of it. It does have another function. One that people who can find the common thread in the words Varietal, Burbon, and Arabica might find useful.

I'm running around like an idiot with work, so I might wind up having to drop out without warning.

A bracelet made out of some variety of coffee wood?

 

[VaporTrail]

Nope, it is a function, not a material. But yes, it has to do with coffee.

 

[Barbara L]

It is a bracelet that doubles as a coffee cup holder. At $70 each, I think I'll pass!

Good one Barbara.
Interesting pic, VT. The things people come up with.....

 

[Andy M.]

Then it's upside down in the picture!

I would have guessed it right away if it was right side up.

 

[Barbara L]

Well, you could use it that way, but you'd have a hot lap!

I think everyone should own a $70 gizmo they wrap around their styrofoam cup of coffee.
