Coffins
The Ga people along the coast of Ghana have fantasy coffins for sale. I am going to start saving up for the fish.
The coffins are produced by Ga craftsmen in carpentry shops in Teshi and Nungua. In the shapes of canoes, fish, leopards, cars, houses, Bibles and a host of other motifs, the colorful and fanciful coffins unambiguously celebrate life's work and achievements, while proclaiming the family's collective prominence and wealth.
