A nice recent made Asafo flag ( Asafo frankaa ) from Ghana.
This flag was used in Festival times in Cape Coast area.

The flag has both machine and hand sawing.
The size of the flag is 64" x 35" ( 162 cm x 89 cm ).
The flag has both machine and hand sawing.
Each side of the flag shows a mirror image.
History of Asafo frankaa: Asafo companies were military organizations of AKAN formed by young FANTE men in order to protect the state ( Town ) against local enemies and by the ASANTE people.
Our flags ( Both recent and old ) come directly from the flag makers ( That they sawing flags for many generations for the Asafo companies ) that are replacing the older flags with new ones.
The materials used to make this patchwork flags were mostly imported cloth.
The Flags were used during the installation of a new Asafo Captain, during festivals, funerals of a companies member and during other traditional events.
After the independence from the British the Union Jack was replaced with the Ghanaian tricolor flag.
A real piece of Authentic African art !
