The Fante asafo companies — community militias turned ceremonial brotherhoods — carried banners like this to broadcast pride and rivalry, each design encoding an Akan proverb in cloth. Cut, layered and stitched entirely by hand, the flag has the tactile, story-book character that makes genuine Asafo textiles so collectable. No two are ever the same.
