Gold weight in the form of a two standing male figures at The British Museum, London
myminifactory
This figurative gold-weight, cast in brass, takes the form of two standing male figures with flexed knees facing each other. One man has his right hand pressed against his mouth and his left arm extended outward from his side, while the other holds both arms and hands in front of him. The figures stand on a flat rectangular-shaped base that provides stability. This weight may symbolize the reunion of two legendary friends from Asante, known as Amoako and Adu, who meet again after many years apart. Both men have faced misfortune and have become impoverished. In some castings, one of them is depicted holding a bunch of keys, representing all that's left of their former wealth (Rattray, 1923,312).
