Background: 

​

Why are they called  "Weights" .

​

Imagine ourself back then at the time of the great African empires.

Precisely around the Gulf of Guinea region of present-day Ghana.

AKAN WEIGHTS were used to measure gold nuggets and Sika, the powder of 'gold. 

​

This gold was the currency of exchange at that time.

Akan people produced gold weights like these in Ghana from around 1400 to 1900.

Made from imported European brass, these weights represented units and could be adjusted with drops of solder or copper plugs.

Units of gold dust were weighed out for all transactions, from the smallest market sale to the largest state enterprise.
