Our Akan Goldweights collection features West African Akan Goldweights sourced directly from the Ivory Coast.
In Akan society, gold was intimately associated with authority, royalty, and the sacred. Akan Goldweights are one of the most popular pieces of Akan art. Traditionally made of bronze, coper or brass and plated with a thin layer of gold, they play a central part of West African jewelry, conveying traditional wisdom through ornaments. The Nyansapo goldweight is inspired by the Nyansapo (Wisdom knot) Adinkra symbol which represents wisdom, intelligence and patience.
