Metal, regardless of its shape or form, possesses inherent value. Among traditional societies, iron held significant importance due to its versatility—it could be forged into various tools and weapons such as hoes, spear points, or machetes. Beyond their practical utility, these metal implements carried symbolic significance, often playing a crucial role in negotiations, particularly during bride arrangements.
