ASAFO MILITA FLAG. Fante people, Ghana. This flag depicts a large griffin (a mythical winged lion) confronting a small porcupine. The message to enemies of the Company that owns the flag is: “You may be as fierce as a griffin, but you are not a match for our Company (represented by the porcupine), and we will keep coming after you if attacked”. The porcupine is likened to an invincible warrior because it is believed to shoot and quickly regenerate its quills (as in the Akan proverb, “If you kill a thousand, a thousand more will come”). This flag is entirely hand sewn with embroidered details. Dated 1920s-1930s. Cotton textile. 61in x 35in. Ex Owen Hargreaves/Jasmine Dahl collection London. Exhibited at the Free Library Gallery Philadelphia 2012, SMA Fathers Museum of African Art Tenafly NJ 2013 and the University of Memphis Museum TN 2015. Published in “Emblems of Power. Asafo Flags from Ghana” 2013 p71 Fig 57. THIS BOOK IS ONLY AVAILABLE FROM THE AUTHORS AT ppr2001@med.cornell.edu.
