Formerly in Africa, barter presided over small purchases. However, regarding important purchases: fabrics, salt, copper, dried dates and figs, livestock, slaves..., the settlement was done with gold powder. These weights have diverse aspects: figures, daily life scenes, everyday objects, animals... or are simply decorated with geometric patterns symbolising water, fire, time... All of these objects are crafted following the ‘cire perdue’ (lost wax) technique, except for certain mouldings, like for the insects.
