BRASS FROM ASHANTI


As part of my stash I collect a lot of Ashanti brass for my works. They are very unique when incorporated in designs and bring out the authenticity of the rich Ashanti Kingdom in Ghana.
Most of these ancient symbols (Adinkra)  have meanings and are proverbial of the clans in the Ashanti Kingdom.













Some cast objects from brass “ancient lost wax” has been modernized by making other fun looking accessories. Enjoy these artifacts taken at the bead festival in Cape Coast with our brass friends from Kumasi.
