This is a very unique Akan goldweight figure that
were used as a measuring system by the Akan people of Africa. The gold
weights were used to weigh gold dust which was used as currency before
money and coins were invented. Locally they are known as mrammou, and
the weights are made of brass. Traditionally a small set of gold weights
were given to a newly wedded man. The status and respect of a man will
also increase if he would possess a complete set of gold weights. A
great item to add to your home or collection.
