Otekokosou – You might have heard this a few times. It is a recognition that has endured since the beginning of time for the Asantehene, the King of the Ashanti Kingdom.

The Ashanti Kingdom has long been renowned for its rich culture and pageantry, despite the fact that many kings and chiefs in the various ethnic groups utilize golden jewelry to embellish their attire, among other things.

In addition, the Asantehene’s symbolic seat is known as the “golden stool.” The Asantehene sits atop a gold-plated duplicate of the original golden stool, which is considered sacrosanct and is never used.

The stool is thought to represent and hold Ashanti power and authority.

Every time the King is seen in public, one can’t help but notice the gold in his jewelry and clothing. If it’s pure gold, it’s either in his crown, rings, shoes, or even his clothing.

According to the situation or event, each piece of gold jewelry or object has a special meaning.
