Among the Fante, the asafo were the warrior companies, and their flags ( frankaa ) were stitched to declare pride and rivalry, each motif standing in for an Akan proverb. Built entirely from hand-cut, layered appliqué, the flag carries the texture and individuality of a genuinely handmade textile — folk art with a strong contemporary edge. Hang it as the anchor of a room; its scale and colour do the work. A rare find from our curated collection. See less
