ghanailoveyou: In Ghana, the display of gold at the Ashanti’s king jubilee in 1995 was unsurpassed in splendor. This Adioukrou Queen mother, attending the jubilee, indicates her status by wearing gold turtle and crocodile talismans in her hair. Bedecked with gold jewelry and gold dust makeup, she exhibits her husband’s authority and worth. photo: Carol Beckwith and Angela Fisher
