(2)This elegant terracotta head is a memorial portrait (nsodie) of an Akan ruler from present-day southern Ghana or southeastern C?te d'Ivoire. It is an idealized representation whose serene expression, well-balanced features, and striated neck suggest the positive qualities such rulers are expected to embody. Created posthumously, royal images like this one were placed with the portraits of previous rulers in sacred areas within the cemetery called asensie. Generally, each royal figure was accompanied by sculptures of courtiers and servants, perhaps to provide aid and comfort to the deceased in the afterlife. Together, they formed sculptural assemblages that honored and preserved the memory of these respected individuals and the chiefly lineages of which they were part. At certain times of the year, the asensie was the focus of prayers, libations, and other offerings that ensured the continuing support and protection of the ancestors.Literature comparison:Compare two closely related terracotta memorial heads, Akan people, dated 17th-19th century, the first in the Count B. de Grunne Collection, Brussels, the second in the Musée Dapper, Paris, number 2802, and exhibited and illustrated in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Heroic Africans: Legendary Leaders, Iconic Sculptures, 20 September 2011 - 29 January 2012, p. 93 and 105, fig. 74 and 91.
