At the website background an Asante goldweight from Ghana, late 19th or early 20th century.
Most geometric weights have no meaning but some of the later ones show complex designs
like the symbols printed on adinkra cloth. Others are representations of amulets used by chiefs
to ward off evil. A short demo of a West African djembe drum plays at the start-up of this site.
