Description: 9 Akan, Ashanti Geometric Gold Weights from Ghana on Africa's "Gold Coast". These rare early 1700s and 1800s brass or bronze gold weights, were used to weigh gold dust mined from local streams and rivers from early early times until currency became available in the 1900's. Each local mining area had a king or head man that developed a graduated system of weights and relative values for each weight. Some of the weights had lead added or a corner nipped off to conform to the local weight system. Weights vary in size from 1/2" x 1/2" to 1" x 7/8" x 1" and weigh from approximately 5.5 grams to 53 grams Check out more items at my store https://www.ebay.com/str/theantiqueattic Or https://www.ebay.com/usr/antiqueattic-2 Terms of Sale ORDERS CANNOT BE CHANGED OR CANCELLED AFTER PAYMENT HAS BEEN MADE; THIS APPLIES TO ALL PURCHASES INCLUDING MERCHANDISE PENDING SHIPPING. 1) If you're unhappy with your merchandise, please contact me within three days of receiving your item & I will help you solve the problem. 2) Do not return any merchandise without contacting me for a return authorization.
