The Chief Arrives


The Chief Arrives
Originally uploaded by borderfilms (Doug).

Nana Kodwo Condua VI - Paramount Chief of Edina Traditional Council is carried to the castle grounds in a vessel called a palanquin. The words on the side of the palanquin translate to "Except God," meaning that the chief is the most powerful presence in the traditional area, with the exception of God.
