African Ashanti Brass Goldweight Ghana

Description: This is a very unique Ashanti Akan Brass Turtle and Fish Gold Weight (locally known as mrammou) that are weights made of brass used as a measuring system by the Akan people of West Africa, particularly for wei and fair-trade arrangements with one another. The status of a man increased significantly if he owned a complete set of weights. Complete small sets of weights were gifts to newly wedded men. This insured that he would be able to enter the merchant trade respectably and successfully. Beyond their practical application, the weights are miniature representations of West African culture items such as adinkra symbols, plants, animals and people. A great adornment for your home or collection. Shows Natural Age and Wear 4.5 Inches Tall 1 Inch Wide at Top 2 Inches Wide Bottom AT BACARA WE STAND BEHIND ALL OF OUR MERCHANDISE.
