The image showcases a vibrant scene set in Kumasi, the capital city of Ashanti, now known as Ghana. In this artwork, Loye skillfully depicts the rising tensions and military presence during this period. The figures dressed in modern costumes parade on the grounds while showcasing scenes of bustling architecture and market day activities. The residents are seen orderly amidst the chaos, with the iconic Union Jack flag proudly displayed.
