The Asafo company likens itself to the battleship confronted by whale Bonsu known in Akan as the mighty fish that overwhelms the sea.
The meaning behind this flag is to face any challenge head-on despite the difficult obstacles ahead.
All of our flags are handmade so once you place your order, Baba will start working on the flag and as soon as we receive the artwork from Ghana, we will let you know and confirm shipping with a tracking link.
We are dedicated to preserving flag-making in Ghana and work directly with the flagmakers ensuring proceeds go directly to support the incredible artistry.

Most damage to textiles is age-related and over time they may discolor, fade, darken, and deteriorate causing splits and losses to the material.
We work with an independent conservator based in London who mounts our flags on a custom-made stretcher.
