Descrizione : African, Burkino Faso, Ashanti culture, ca. 19th century CE. Weights have been used to measure gold dust since the pre-European 1400s. According to the African Art Museum The Ashanti are credited, however, with introducing representational art to this genre-so anything depicting a person or animal, post-1700, can rightly be called an Ashanti gold weight. This lovely example depicts a chicken, a popular symbol of life as a bearer of eggs. All of the bronzes from the Pickard Collection and have been checked out with a museum expert on ancient bronze who worked for both the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Sackler Foundation. It is extremely rare to find small, ancient African bronzes that are authentic. These are the real deal! 1-1/2 (3.8 cm) L Provenance: Ex-B. Pickard private collection, Oklahoma City, OK. Mr. Pickard began his collection in 1959 following university studies while in Africa. All items legal to buy/sell under U.S. Statute covering cultural patrimony Code 2600, CHAPTER 14, and are guaranteed to be as described or your money back.
