Item Details

Description

Origin: Ghana - Africa

Date: 2nd half 20th century

Materials: Bronze

Size: 15 cm

Gold was a principal source of wealth and status for Asante. The Asantehene and his court officials were traditionally bedecked with a profusion of gold ornaments and insignia of office. Cast gold ornaments were made by highly skilled craftsmen answerable directly to the Asantehene, who could veto their manufacture for persons who were not entitled to them. Gold dust was used as currency for trade and payment of fines. It was weighed on special scales with bronze weights, many of these in figurative form made by the lost wax technique.
