EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite craftsmanship of an Asante Chair, originating from Ghana. Carved meticulously by the skilled hands of African artisans, this wooden chair stands at a height of 52 cm and is part of a private collection. The photograph, captured by Heini Schneebeli, beautifully captures every intricate detail of this remarkable piece. The Asante Chair features stunning bas reliefs and wooden carvings that depict various scenes and symbols significant to West African culture. Male figures are intricately carved into the chair's structure, showcasing their tribal attire and traditional accessories. The seated figure exudes regality while holding a bowl in his hand, symbolizing hospitality or perhaps spiritual significance. This chair not only serves as a functional seat but also represents the rich cultural heritage and artistic traditions of Ghanaian people. Its presence evokes a sense of reverence for ancestral customs and rituals passed down through generations. As we admire this photograph, we are transported to the heartland of Ashanti tradition where artistry meets functionality seamlessly. It reminds us that art has always been an integral part of human existence – transcending time and space to connect us with our roots.
