Our latest Relic of The Paw is worth its weight in goldβ¦ππͺ
From weighing gold dust in Ghana to sitting behind the bar at The Paw, this little monkey has made quite the journey. Purchased from a swap meet in DUMBO, New York City, this Akan goldweight traveled home to Chicago, finding a perch on our bar.
Keep an eye out for this little piece of history next time you stop byπ
