Ashante Chief, Ghana

The gold jewellery worn by the royal guests at the Ashanti King's Silver Jubilee is not only highly impressive but conveys important symbolic meaning. This Paramount Chief wears a medallion and headband decorated with stylised moon and star motif, reflecting the proverb "The evening star desires of being married, always stays close to the moon." The design signifies fidelity, both of a husband to his wife and a subject to his king.
