Description: | The Asante used these weights, or mbrammuo, as a standard for weighing out gold and gold dust. While the weights of the objects were standardised, their shape could be simple or complex. This weight was cast in the form of an axe. - - South Ghana, Ghana, W, Africa | Format: | text/html | License: | http://rammuseum.org.uk/legal | Publisher: | Royal Albert Memorial Museum & Art Gallery, Exeter City Council | Rights holder: | Royal Albert Memorial Museum & Art Gallery, Exeter City Council | Subjects: | Ethnography Currency | Source: | Royal Albert Memorial Museum | Creator: | Not specified | Identifier: | http://rammcollections.org.uk/content/ca... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | text/html | Go to resource |
