Akan / Ashanti Gold Dust Box (Abamphruwa) with Bird Figures – Ghana – 19th / Early 20th Century
A traditional Akan / Ashanti gold dust box (Abamphruwa / Adakawa) from Ghana, West Africa, cast in brass or bronze using the traditional lost-wax technique (cire perdue).
These small containers formed part of the traditional Akan gold-trading system. They were used for storing precious gold dust and small gold particles, which historically served as a form of currency and wealth among the Akan and particularly within the Asante Kingdom.
The removable lid is especially attractive and elaborately decorated with several three-dimensional stylised bird figures, arranged within a geometric framework. Birds occupy an important place in Akan visual culture and are frequently associated with traditional proverbs and symbolic meanings.
The entire box is individually cast and shows the characteristic irregularities of traditional lost-wax production. The surface has developed an attractive aged brown-golden patina with small areas of oxidation and traces of use.
The underside of the lid retains the raised fitting which allows it to sit securely within the box.
Culture: Akan / Ashanti (Asante)
Object: Gold dust box – Abamphruwa / Adakawa
Origin: Ghana, West Africa
Period: 19th – early 20th century
Material: Brass / bronze, copper alloy
Technique: Lost-wax casting (cire perdue)
Decoration: Stylised bird figures
Dimensions: approx. 70 × 35 × 40 mm
Weight: approx. 180 g
Condition: God standser dine alder og traditionel brug. Synlig patina, oxidation, støbegangs-rugheder og slid. Nogle af de små fuglefigurer og dekorative elementer viser alders-relateret slid og mindre tab. Studér venligst fotografierne omhyggeligt, da de udgør en integreret del af beskrivelsen.
En interessant og yderst dekorativt eksempel på den traditionelle Akan gulddust-kultur og Vestafrikas metalbearbejdning.
