Description: | The Asante used these copper alloy 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 appears to be meant to resemble a shield. - - 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 |
