    Description

    ANTIQUE BRONZE / BRASS "GOLD WEIGHT " FROM THE ASANTI TRIBE OF WEST AFRICA. FIGURINES LIKE THIS ONE WERE USED AS COUNTER WEIGHT BY THESE TRIBES TO WEIGH GOLD DUST IN THE YEARS BEFORE  MODERN CURRENCY. WE HAD THIS APPRAISED ( PIC #8 ) AT UP TO 0.00 OR MORE, IF IT WAS MADE BEFORE THE TURN OF THE CENTURY. NONE OF THE APPRAISERS HAVE SEEN ONE LIKE THIS BEFORE, WE ALSO DID EXTENSIVE RESEARCH AND COULD NOT FIND ANY FIGURINES LIKE THIS ONE. THE FIGURINE IS FILLED WITH WHAT APPEARS TO BE SAND BUT IS VERY HARD AND BAKED IN. THE SIZE IS 8-1/2 INCHES AND WEIGHS 11-OZS.....YOUR STATE SALES TAX AND INSURANCE WILL BE ADDED TO YOUR INVOICE....Thanks for looking and please view our other items on this auction...!
