Description

21 Goldgewichte
Akan, Ghana / Côte d’Ivoire
Gelbguss. H 10,5 cm.

Provenienz:
Galerie Walu, Zürich (vor 1998).

Die Gewichte der Akan-Völker, welche im Wachsausschmelzverfahren hergestellt wurden, waren von etwa 1400 bis 1900 in Gebrauch und verdanken ihren Namen nicht ihrem Material, sondern ihrer Funktion; dem Abwiegen von Goldstaub, der früheren Währung der Goldküste.

Die ersten Goldgewichte der Akan besassen geometrische Formen, im Laufe des 16. Jahrhunderts, wenn nicht schon früher, stiessen figürliche Gewichte dazu. Diese Gewichte waren weiterhin für den praktischen Gebrauch gedacht. Darüber hinaus stellten diese Prestigegewichte Sprichwörter der Akan dar.
