Traders across West Africa used tiny sculptures like these as weights for measuring gold, a natural resource in the region. The weights themselves are brass, which is far less dense than gold, allowing very small amounts of the precious metal—from dust to nuggets—to be measured out. Artists created different sizes and shapes of weights, adapting their design to a particular measure. See these sculptures in “Look Again: Contemporary Perspectives on African Art.” #CreativeAfrica
