Jewelry, 1800s (cast gold, hammered) (see also 491183)
491187 Jewelry, 1800s (cast gold, hammered) (see also 491183) by Asante Culture, (19th century); l:8.70 cm; Cleveland Museum of Art, OH, USA; (add.info.: Shared by different Akan and Akan-related peoples, including the Asante and Baule, gold ornaments indicate status and wealth and are worn at public festivals by titleholders, chiefs, and kings. Most pectoral disks are suspended over the chest by a white, pineapple-fiber cord. They are owned by the okra, a young official who purifies the chiefs soul--hence, the name akrafokonmu, meaning " soul-washers badges" or " soul disks."
