AKAN, Ghana/Côte d'Ivoire. Bronze and other alloys. Beautiful set of five figurative gold weights showing various horned antelopes. The horns, products of the head, symbolise thought (3.3 cm -4 cm- 4.5 cm and 5 cm). There is also a zoomorphic pendant (6 cm). Provenance: François Bertrand Collection, Paris. Then by descent. Would have been acquired from the Maurice Ratton gallery (family tradition).
