12 Akan Goldweights and 4 Gold Dust Boxes

Item Details

Description

12 Goldgewichte und 4 Goldstaubdosen
Akan, Ghana / Côte d’Ivoire
Ohne Sockel / without base
Kupferlegierung. H 1,5 - 8,5 cm.

Provenienz:
Schweizer Privatsammlung, Zürich.

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.
