    • نبذة مختصرة :
      The function of these unusual gold-ribbed objects was invariably linked to a symbolic meaning that offers a glimpse into a profound philosophy, a rich spirituality, and the organization of Mapungubwe society. Geometric shapes were used frequently and some representations in gold are abstract and do not seem to take a specific form. Many of the gold pieces reveal a deep aesthetic beauty created by goldsmiths as ornaments and jewelry where shape and form are brought together as a deep appreciation of a valuable metal.
