Often identified with the Asante peoples,
brass weights for measuring gold dust were used throughout Ghana and
Cote d'Ivoire. Each party to a trade would check the gold using their
own weights. Our jewelry and accessories are inspired by a variety of
weights featuring fish, animals, geometrics and other designs in the
collection of the Smithsonian's National Museum of African American Art.
All income from our sales supports the chartered educational purposes and activities of the Smithsonian Institution.
