Genesis 2 Print

The main objective of this series is to examine African culture . Since culture is often seen as the sum total of the peculiarities shared by a people, a people's values can be seen as part of their culture. In discussing African culture and values, we are not presupposing that all African societies have the same explanation(s) for events, the same language, and same mode of dressing and so on. Rather, there are underlying similarities shared by many African societies which, when contrasted with other cultures, reveal a wide gap of difference. we try to show the beauty of African culture. The Asante, an Akan people of southern Ghana, are renowned for communicating status, wealth, and power through displays of golden ornament and elaborately woven cloth. This opulence, combined with the symbolic richness of Akan regalia in general, has generated a special appreciation for Asante leadership arts. For many scholars, the centerpiece of these arts is the profusion of golden regalia worn or displayed by male and female traditional rulers and their court officials on state occasions. Yet one particularly intriguing form of regalia has remained relatively unexamined: an Asante chest ornament, or pectoral, that consists of paired golden disks in the form of stylized breasts suspended from a massive chain.It appears to have originated within the context of Akan leadership arts, and it continues to be seen in the adornment of the two Asante royal fly-whisk attendants called mprakyirefo. In addition, over the course of the past century, the dual-disk pectoral has increasingly become associated with a new display context, that of the funeral, where it is known as awisiado, or "orphan's necklace"
