The Ashanti flag is the flag of the Ashanti people. It depicts the Golden Stool (Ashanti: Sika' dwa), the throne of the Asantehene.[1]

History

In the early 1950s, the Ashanti flag was green, gold and black, with a cocoa pod and a porcupine on it.[2] In 1956, the National Liberation Movement proposed a yellow flag with a black, white and green tricolour canton as the flag of an autonomous Ashanti kingdom.[3]

Symbolism

The Ashanti flag has three horizontal stripes: gold for mineral wealth, black for the Ashanti people, and green for the forests.[2][4]

The emblem in the centre is the Golden Stool, a symbol of national unity and royal authority since the 18th century. According to legend, the Stool descended from heaven in a cloud of white dust and landed in the lap of the first Ashanti Emperor Osei Tutu I. It is said to possess the sunsum (soul) of the Ashanti people.[5][6][7]

A different version of the flag shows the gyemirekutu kyɛ, a hat made up of multiple different animal parts.[4]
