Primitive African Shaba Crosses

Shaba is the historical region in southeastern Congo, bordering Lake Tanganyika to the east, Zambia to the south, and Angola to the west. It is coextensive with modern Katanga province. The region's name, Shaba, during the Zairean period, comes from the Swahili word for 'copper', and the region's mines yield most of Congo's copper, cobalt, uranium, zinc, cadmium, silver, germanium, coal, gold, iron, manganese, and tin. The local people were utilizing those minerals long before the arrival of Europeans in the 19th Century.

As such, a curious form of money, made of the native copper ( molded in the dry sand ), took hold; the Shaba Cross. These were in fairly consistent use from the 16th Century onward into the 1900's when the Belgians colonized the region.
