Culture and traditions Ghana

 Traditions and customs

The Silversmith's trade is the country's most prestigious handicraft activity. Low-priced products can be found at local markets in Accra. Kumasi and Tamale have the best-known local markets. Ghana, and in particular the Kumasi region, is the place of choice for Ashanti people, an Akan population that protects customs and mostly prospered in the 18th and 19th centuries. Its speciality is based on a kingship symbolised by a golden stool. The Akan's Ashanti tribe is the most populated in the country. Its craft is famous for its hand-sculpted stools, its dolls, its complex and colourful pattern clothes.
