Old Asofo Flag with House and Man with the Key

Item Details

Description

This colorful flag (frankaa) is a wonderful example of one of Fante art from Ghana, Africa. This Flag features a man with a key and a house, as well as the flag of Ghana in the corner. It is the emblem of a Fante Asafo company. One of the most influential of all Akan institutions, Asafo is a military organization that plays an important role in the political process by balancing the power of paramount chiefs. Asafo members also take part in ceremonies when a new chief is installed. A Fante town may have from 2 to 14 companies. Each company has its own name, number, regalia and shrine. A company is led by a senior commander, captains of subdivisions and various other officials, including linguists, flag bearers, priests and priestesses. This Flag measures 51 x 30 inches.
