Hand-appliquéd by Fante makers, these banners ( frankaa ) were created for the asafo — the traditional warrior companies — to carry proverbs, rivalries and allegiances in bold figurative cloth. We've had this example float-mounted and framed to a high conservation standard, protecting the textile while letting its hand-cut layers and stitching read clearly. The framing turns a collector's object into an immediate, hang-it-today statement piece. A genuine investment artwork for a considered interior — a centrepiece with real cultural depth. from our RareFinds collection. See less
