Large iron and copper ingots hammered into a variety of different forms, ranging from twisted Kissi "pennies" to representions of farm implements to jewelry, were produced both as stones and displays of wealth. The shaping of the ingots indicated the quality of the metal and gave proof that it could be worked. These forms of wealth were not only useful for mundane market exchange, but also had important social and ritual functions in native African societies. In many cases, they were required as gifts to cement the relationship between husbands and the parents of their brides. These would make a wonderful addition to your home and collection.
