Piye, the following king, carried the conquest of Egypt to the Nile delta.

Love❤️ to all in Ghana 🇬🇭 Ashanti Empire

Love❤️ to all in Ghana 🇬🇭 Ashanti Empire
This is an Ashanti gold trophy head from the 17th Century, it is in the form of a hollow mask
.
. ⁠⠀
Masks of this kind represented defeated enemies and were attached by a hoop to ceremonial swords in the state regalia
.
.
The Ashanti people controlled large gold resources and were renowned goldsmiths, supplying the king, his family, and designated courtiers with regalia and ornaments.
.
.
During the Third anglo-Asante War of 1873–74, the Royal Palace in Kumasi was looted and destroyed by british forces and many gold artefacts were stolen and taken to england.
