This book is pruduced in a limited edition of 400 copies This book contains three important parts plus an addenda. First, an overview by Herbert M. Cole, is followed by chapters revealing the basic backgrounds to understanding the role of akua?mma in the Asante society; like the complex family bonds, their religion and the organisation of the state. Information is provided about the wood and paint used. The history of the akua-mma is followed by some personal opinions about authenticity, and the way to relate to damaged akua?mma. This general part is completed with the relevance of symbols, in which the opposite opinions of both authors are clearly expressed. A second part displays, in photographs, all detailed aspects to be seen on these sculptures. An afterword by Herbert M. Cole finalises this part.
