The Fante asafo companies commissioned hand-appliquéd flags like this to broadcast identity and out-do rivals, each one a narrative built from layered, hand-cut cloth and embedded Akan proverb. Float-mounted and framed to a high conservation standard, the textile is protected and beautifully displayed, its handwork and gentle irregularities — the signature of a genuine piece — clearly visible. A serious focal point for a hallway, dining room or stairwell, combining museum-grade presentation with authentic cultural heritage. A standout in our RareFinds collection. See less
