Museums like ours contain specimens that belonged to scientific heroes such as Charles Darwin and Alfred Russel Wallace, who developed the answers to the question of how species evolved. Their stories have been well told; however, they did not work alone. What’s often missing from the histories are the countless local and Indigenous experts who contributed so much to our understanding of the natural world, by collecting specimens for the likes of Darwin and Wallace.

From late 13th and early 14th century, the Akan people of southwestern Ghana and southeastern Ivory Coast developed a weighting system to measure gold dust, which was the form of currency. Beyond their transactional use, the importance of goldweights lies in their ability to communicate the multifaceted cultural practices and worldview of the Akan people, but also the underlining systems and structures they created.
