Title: Zong—African Small Change
Description: Anchor-shaped sheets of wrought iron about 20" long, called zongs, were used as a unit of account, rather than an object of exchange by itself. In fact, 10 zong were wrapped together in fiber to make a unit called a mezong. Some rust, chip at top. See Opitz, p. 383 (illustrated, bottom left).
