EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures a unique and intricate goldweight from the Asante tribe in Ghana, dating back to the 18th-19th century. The goldweight depicts two crocodiles with a shared stomach, symbolizing unity and cooperation within the community.
The craftsmanship of this brass piece is truly remarkable, showcasing the skill and artistry of the Asante people. Each detail of the crocodiles is carefully crafted, from their scales to their sharp teeth, creating a lifelike representation that is both beautiful and awe-inspiring.
Crocodiles hold great significance in African culture, often representing power, protection, and fertility. In this particular goldweight, the image of two crocodiles sharing a stomach may symbolize shared resources or mutual dependence among members of the tribe.
