$12.45 Shipping Location: Chino, United States Gold Weights: The Gold weights or Mbramoo of the Akan are stylized miniature sculptures traditionally used to weigh bags of gold dust for use as currency. ... moreMade of bronze or brass the weights are made using the traditional lost wax casting technique(I highly recommend viewing this for a precursory view of the technique) The weights themselves often became status symbols with higher nobility indicted with not only owning more weights but the degree of casting in the weights and the accompanying accouterments like spoons and decorative chests. Each weight was made to be equivalent to a Uquiya or Islamic ounce(roughly 27.3 grams) With the weights either being filed down or adorned with beads to achieve the perfect weight. Though long since out of use for actual gold measurements, the weights have continued to be made and serve now more as collectible handmade sculptures. This particular piece is a Rooster or Chicken measuring about 1.75 in long by 2 in tall, with a lovely filigree and patina making it wonderful for any collector! Motifs: Akan gold weights were often used not only for simple measurements but to strike up conversation during business transactions by each conveying a unique story or idea through their designs and representations. These design motifs usually fall into three trends; courtly figures. Adinkra symbols or representational animals. The figures representing Ashanti nobility tend to be allegories. Myths and fables of the Ashanti's origins. The Adinkra symbols are much flatter, rectangular designs based upon the Ashanti Adrinkra system of writing where philosophical concepts and aphorisms are represented with stylized patterns and designs(the Adrinkra is not a phonetic system of writing and holds no capability for writing nouns, verbs, etc but instead conveys transcendent thoughts on the nature of existence) The animal representations often are attempts to convey proverbs relating to the individual animals.

Museum quality authentic artifact(circa late 1800s) representing Serpent head Amulet Pendant. The item is about 5" In excellent antique condition. Serpent: In West Africa the serpent plays an important role as the creator of humankind. The Ashanti of Africa tell how the Creator Python come from the heavens and settled in the river.

Her head is the sky and her tail is in the waters that are believed to lie under the earth. The Fon and Bantu peoples further to the south. Believe that Mawu-Lisa formed the earth.

Sophistication in war, government, ... moreindustry and the arts, the old Tikar dynasties dominated Central and West Africa for at least three centuries before their decline in the nineteenth century. We estimate that there were more than one million Tikar people. Today there are less than 100000 in the French-speaking zone and 300000 in the English-speaking zone(Banso) They obviously met the criteria for“good slaves. They were attractive, learned quickly and had a tradition of slavery with-in their own society. As the Tikar people attempted to abandon their traditional grassy savannahs and the plains where they were easy slave trade targets with no natural protection, they were forced to leave their villages, with slave traders on the one side and four hostile tribes on the other side, seeking revenge. One of the strategies they applied to fight off the enemy was to dig moats around villages; these still exist in at least five kingdoms. However this strategy failed and the survivors found refuge in the forest. The slave trade during this drained their brightest and most physically fit young people. Having been weakened by war and the slave trade, they became vulnerable to neighboring tribes who had been subjected

Antique Tribal African Antique figurative cast bronze bracelet with chameleons
Unique Dogon Antique(circa mid- late 1800s) Cast Bronze Bracelet with Chameleons From the old private collection of the internationally celebrated artist and ardent Africanist. This is a rare. Museum quality authentic artifact(circa mid- late 1800s) The item is about 3 1/2" x3 1/2" and 2 1/4 inner with 1"opening in excellent antique condition. Dogon art is extremely versatile. Although common stylistic characteristics– such as a tendency towards stylization– are apparent on the statues. Their art deals with the myths whose complex ensemble regulates the life of the individual. The sculptures are preserved in innumerable sites of worship, personal or family altars, altars for rain, altars to protect hunters, in market. As a general characterization of Dogon statues, one could say that they render the human body in a simplified ... moreway, reducing it to its essentials. Some are extremely elongated with emphasis on geometric forms. The subjective impression is one of immobility with a mysterious sense of a solemn gravity and serene majesty, although conveying at the same time a latent movement. Dogon sculpture recreates the hermaphroditic silhouettes of the Tellem, featuring raised arms and a thick patina made of blood and millet beer. The four Nommo couples, the mythical ancestors born of the god Amma, ornament stools, pillars or men’s meeting houses, door locks, and granary doors. The primordial couple is represented sitting on a stool, the base of which depicts the earth while the upper surface represents the sky; the two are interconnected by the Nommo. Horsemen are remainders of the fact that, according to myth, the horse was the first animal present on earth. The Dogon style has evolved into a kind of cubism: ovoid head, squared shoulders, tapered extremities, pointed breasts, forearms, and thighs on a parallel plane, hairdos stylized by three or four incised lines. Dogon sculptures serve as a physical medium in initiations and as an explanation of the world. They serve to transmit an understanding to

Antique African Tribal Cast Bronze Amulet Talisman Snake Bracelet with Turtle
Unique Lobi Antique(circa mid- late 1800s) Cast Bronze Amulet Talisman Snake Bracelet with Turtle From the old private collection Rare. Museum quality authentic artifact(circa mid- late 1800s) The item is about 3 1/8" x 2 5/8" and 2 7/8 inner with 1 1/2 opening in excellent antique condition. The basic method of lost-wax casting has been widely practiced on the African continent for centuries. While it is difficult to establish how the method was developed or introduced to the region. It is clear that West African sculptors were casting brass with this method for several hundred years prior to the arrival of the first Portuguese explorers along the coast in 1484. The technique requires a great deal of skill, involving extensive knowledge of both pottery and metalworking, and a careful attention to changing temperatures to prevent ... moreunwanted cracking or other damage to either the clay mold or to the metal sculpture during the casting process. Some of the earliest and most accomplished bronze works found in Africa date to the tenth century and are from a site called Igbo-Ukwu. Bronze pieces created by the lost wax method involves creating a model in beeswax. Once completed. Wax rods are attached to it and the entire model is encased in layers of fine clay. The structure is heated and the melted wax runs out through the channels or wax rods, molten metal is poured into the mold, created after wax was lost- the metal cools and hardens, the mold is broken and the piece has been created. Each piece is an original since the mold is broken after each one has been cast. Froo www.froo.com | Froo Cross Sell.

This is a antique African Slave Bracelet Copper or Bronze manillas.
This is a antique African Slave Bracelet Copper or Bronze manillas. I have not scratched the patina to see if it is Copper or Bronze. These were C opper or bronze arm bracelets. In exchange for thes e ornaments. Once manufactured in Europe, African chieftains delivered people. Sometimes of their own tribes, into the hands of slave traders bound for the Americas. This small manilla measures 2 1/8" by 2 1/8" I believe to be pretty rare. I have never seen any before. there was an article in the December 1977 issue of National Geographic. Which tells about a ship that sank in the mid 18th century on the reefs of Bermuda. On this ship were found a treasure of these manillas.

Each piece is individually made. No two are exactly the same because the mold is broken in the'lost-wax' process. This method is very labor-intensive. The initial form is sculpted out of wax which is then dipped several times into very fine powdered black mud and allowed to harden. Forming a clay casting around the mold. The clay is then heated until the wax melts and is poured out of its casting, leaving a hollow mold in the shape of the original sculpture. Finally, molten brass/bronze is poured into the casting replacing the old wax mold. Once cool, the cast is broken away from the brass/bronze; leaving a solid ornament.

The unit was raised in Johannesburg for service in the Second Anglo-Boer War on 21 September 1899 by Col. Aubrey Woolls-Sampson. Maj. Walter Davies, Sir Percy Fitzpatrick and Capt. Charles Mullins, it was named the Imperial Light Horse with the approval of Queen Victoria. First muster of the Regiment took place in Pietermaritzburg.

The first commander of the Regiment(consisting of 444 officers and men. Chosen from 5,000 volunteers) was Col. John James Scott-Chisholme, who led the unit at its first engagement, the Battle of Elandslaagte on 21 October 1899. During this battle two Victoria Crosses were awarded(to Capt.
