Description: | CULT Ashanti probably C.19th or 20th Gold Coast Ghana Looping "S" shape with band around middle, possibly representing horn. Elephant horns are used most frequently by the Ashanti at ceremonies involving their cheif. The status of a horn-blower is shown by the Ashanti myth which states that the creator made a herald, a drummer and an executioner and so the precedence of these officials in an Ashanti court is in this order. | License: | http://www.hmag.gla.ac.uk/spirit/rights/ | Publisher: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Rights holder: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Subjects: | ABRAMMUO : ABRAMO : ASANTE : GOLD COAST : WEST AFRICA : ABRAMO : AKAN : | Source: | Hunterian Museum | Creator: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Identifier: | http://www.huntsearch.gla.ac.uk/cgi-bin/... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
