The Ashanti kingdom (Ghana) rose to power in the early 18th century. Gold dust was the curency of the Ashanti, and decorative brass weights were fashioned to measure the gold dust. This design incorporates the spiral motif, which is the sign of creation. The Ashanti designs were influenced by the angular designs from North Africa, and by the detailed art of the Benin.
