Description

Goldstaub-Löffel, "saawa"
Asante, Ghana
Gesockelt / with custom base
Bronze. H 23 cm.

Provenienz:
- Nachlass René David (1928-2015), Zürich.
- Hammer Auktion 32 (verkauft & storniert / sold & canceled)

Bis Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts wurde Goldstaub von den Asante und verwandten Völkern in Ghana und Côte d'Ivoire bei Geschäftsabschlüssen verwendet. Spezielle Löffel, bekannt als Saawa, meist aus Messingblech, hoben den Goldstaub aus einer Aufbewahrungsbox und legten ihn auf eine Seite einer gegen ein Gewicht zu messenden Balkenwaage.
