Asafo flag (frankka) Ghana, c. 1957-1975 Appliqued plain-weave cotton fabric The George Washington University Museum and The Textile Museum 2000.38.1
“Flags such as this, known as a frankka in Fante, are displays of the power and identity of the various Asafo companies among the Fante people of West Africa. Translating to "war (sa) people (fo)," Asafo companies not only protect the Fante state but also play a crucial role in selecting and advising chiefs in their communities. This flag illustrates the proverb “An elephant steps on a trap, no more trap" through the figures of an elephant and an Asafo officer. Comparing themselves to an elephant, a revered symbol of strength, this company establishes its immense strength that can combat any opposing force.”

dying details
(9/11/22)
for the lacking comfort no arm to hold him close no love to keep him safe there became a flame a bright spark emerging from rage pure ravenous hatred no longer wishing for the changes but instead forcing some wicked future to burn down a village to feel feel that comfort. warmth. safety.
