Description
This work symbolizes the power and protection of the soul.
Discover the mysteries and fascinating rituals of the Akan people, an ethnic group from West Africa predominantly found in the regions of Ghana and Ivory Coast, during the coronation of their King. This endless and spiritual ceremony, shrouded in a veil of secrecy, aims to protect the future sovereign from malevolent forces.
At the heart of this captivating tapestry, tradition endures: the late king's brother is entrusted with the task of dressing his nephew for the grand ceremony. Meanwhile, two servants stand ready one bearing the royal crown, the other precious jewels—awaiting the call of their elder to adorn the new sovereign with his royal regalia.
The wall of the hut is adorned with a mask representing the grandeur of the queen mothers, whose benevolent gaze falls upon the new King. In the bottom right corner, an imposing statue of a man symbolizing wealth draws attention. His protruding belly and sturdy base evoke opulence and comfort, as if instilling the chosen new King with the blessing of prosperity. It is a true invitation to explore the ancestral traditions and sacred rituals that surround royal power.
