Description: ASHANTI AKAN LOVING COUPLE GOLD WEIGHT GHANA AFRICA This is a vintage cast brass gold weight depicting a couple making love. These highly collectible erotic figures were created over a half-century ago and measure from about 2" to 2.5" (6.3cm) high. Native dealers in Ghana, formerly called the Gold Coast, used little brass figures like these to weigh golden grains and nuggets. Each figure was carefully modeled by hand in wax, then cast in brass using the "cire perdu" (lost wax) process. Some themes are popular and repeated, but no two statues will ever be exactly alike. Each couple is a truly captivating example of indigenous art and the buyer will receive the two lovers cast in a similar position. About the time that Picasso, Braque, Matisse and other early 20th century masters were influenced by African tribal sculpture, collectors everywhere began searching for these delightful little statues. Now YOU can build your own personal collection of these charming table-top figures, and at very affordable cost. FREE Shipping wherever you reside in any of the lower 48 states.
