[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 4515168, member: 2844"]This type of 'gold weight' is a later development in Akan gold weights, the valuable old ones are relatively plain, and don't depict people. Many of these 'little guys' are made for export and tourist trade, but yours looks older than most. The ring is also West African. It reminds me of Senufo rings, but [USER=8267]@2manybooks[/USER] can probably tell you more about the origin. She may also be able to tell you about the intriguing figure on the right.[/QUOTE]
