Asafo Flags Sharing the culture and story telling flags by the Fante people of Ghana 🇬🇭
(3)

Asafo flags, locally called "frankaa", are paraded on festive occasions by men's "military" companies among the Fante people of coastal Ghana. The imagery asserts the wealth and power of the company and challenges its rivals, often through an associated proverb. The flags were made from thin flimsy imported cloth and the effect of being hung outside for days at a time in all weathers and repeated

use in parades tends to mean that older pieces are often quite battered with numerous marks, holes and patches.

Solid Ntsin (Intsin) No. 3 Asafo Kaw posuban in Cape Coast.
The cockerel and the four main compass directions on this post mean wherever a member of the company goes, they will find his/her way back by the sound of the cockerel.

The turtle shell is to serve a protective function - close to the dua ase. (sacred tree)
