ASAFO MILITIA FLAG. Fante people, Ghana. This flag expresses the proverb, “A Chief is like an Odum tree: he has no front and no back” (he is responsible for everyone in the community). The female figure identified as “Safohen Gyasi” and a Supi or Company Captain with a whip dangling from his wrist are pointing to the Chief wearing a print cap and pants with his hands on his hips standing next to an Odum tree. The message is that the Chief is like an Odum tree, the home of a protective spirit and site of the Company posuban or headquarters. The figures are hand sewn with embroidered details. Cotton. 41.5in x 60in. Exhibited at the Free Library Gallery Philadelphia 2102, the SMA Fathers Museum of African Art 2013, and the University of Memphis 2016. Published in “Emblems of Power. Asafo Flags from Ghana” 2013, p 88 Fig 92. This 103 page book is only available from the authors at ppr2001@med.cornell.edu.
