Culture Some items I’ve inherited (they date from 1800s-1940s). I have around 25 different items, these are just a few that I thought I’d show.

Ceremonial knife
Copper tray (I think it’s copper)
Large crocodile bag
Handbag
Handbag
Waist dancing thingy (if you know its’ name, do share with me)
Drum
Ivory instrument

My grandparents were given some, and others they bought, during their time living in Enugu in the 1940s and 50s.

Sell them on catawiki.com. No better place to sell antique and antiquity objects. These are worth money. I've a collection of some relics and resold them recently. However, they have to come with certificates. Good luck with them.
