I have 3 Archers bracelets from The Tutsi arriving in a shipment shipment within the next 7 days. These bracelets were used by Archers to protects their wrists from the snap of the bow on release of the arrow. The wooden bracelets like those in the shipment were more prestigious, adorned with copper, than those commonly used by the average archer who would weave them out of grass, and were probably used by archers of the chief. These items will be viewable under the Weapons page of the For African Art website.
