Art from Lesson: Ashanti Discs

The Ashanti people live in the tropical rainforests of Ghana in West Africa. They live about 150 miles from the Sea and are the largest tribe in Ghana. Ghana used to be called the Gold Coast. It had a plentiful supply of gold to be mined. The Ashanti people use gold to make jewellery and religious artefacts.

The Ashanti people decorate their cloth (which they make their clothes from) with patterns made using Adinkra symbols. There are more than fifty symbols, each with a different mystical meaning that are used to tell a story.

Symbols are turned into stamps using either wood or shell

Adinkra Symbols

Soul Washer Discs The King of the Ashanti Tribe was always protected by a group of men who shared his birthday. Their role was to protect the King from evil spirits. These men were known as Soul Washers. To help them in this role they wore large gold disks around their necks. These are called Soul Washer discs.
