Brass figure of a horse with a rider, cast by the lost wax method. The horse's back dips in the center, its tail is long and full, and it wears a bridle while the rider holds the reins. It has pointed ears and small round notched eyes. The front legs are bent with hooves turned up, while the back legs are straight. The rider's coiffure is composed of small round circles in relief, and his features are clearly indicated, although his legs are modeled only rudimentarily. Mounted on a modern plexiglass stand, the condition is excellent. Gold was extremely important in the economic and political life of the Akan kingdoms of southern Ghana and Côte d'Ivoire. Until the mid-nineteenth century, gold dust was the primary form of currency in the region. An elaborate system of weights, usually made of cast brass, developed by the seventeenth century to measure precise amounts of gold. Gold weights took many forms: simple geometric shapes; animals, such as leopards or birds; objects, such as chairs or swords; and human figures. The figures, animals, and objects are often associated with proverbs. The sankofa bird, with its head turned backward, represents the proverb "One must turn to the past to move forward."
