Item Details

Description

3 Goldstaublöffel,"n'sawa"
Asante, Ghana
Ohne Sockel / without base
Kupferlegierung. L 7 - 13 cm.

Provenienz:
Nachlass René David (1928-2015), Zürich.

Ausgestellt:
Musée International du Golfe de Guinée, Togo (2005-2011).

Bis Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts wurde Goldstaub von den Asante und verwandten Völkern in Ghana und Côte d'Ivoire bei Geschäftsabschlüssen verwendet. Spezielle Löffel, bekannt als Saawa, meist aus Messingblech, hoben den Goldstaub aus einer Aufbewahrungsbox und legten ihn auf eine Seite einer gegen ein Gewicht zu messenden Balkenwaage.
