Asafo Fante Flag - Ghana - 17
£385.00
An original Fante Asafo flag from Ghana, hand-appliquéd in layered cloth and chosen for its strong, graphic design. Made for the asafo warrior companies of the Fante coast, flags like this functioned as banners of identity — paraded to honour ancestors, mark festivals and trade visual proverbs with rival companies.
The piece is entirely handworked, its motifs cut and stitched rather than printed, which gives it the honest texture collectors prize in authentic Asafo textiles.
A great introduction to the form and an easy, characterful addition to a gallery wall. Part of our RareFinds collection.
