Descripción del vendedor
These objects are of cultural, historical and spiritual significance to the Asante people. They are also indelibly linked to British colonial history in West Africa, with many of them looted from the Asante capital, Kumasi, during the Anglo-Asante Wars of the 1800s. Some of these objects formed part of a British indemnity payment forcibly extracted from the Asantehene at the time, while many others were sold at auction and later dispersed among museums and private collectors worldwide
Provenance: Jean-Michel Huguenin Collection, Paris
