Description
English: The great war drum of the Ashanti in the palace of the Asantehene (Manhyia Palace) in Kumasi. It represents one of the state insignia of the Ashanti and was beaten in the past, only the proclamation of martial law or to the mobilization of the Ashanti army. The skulls come from kings, who had been defeated prior to the founding of the state in the battle. They are usually mounted on the drum.

Deutsch: Die große Kriegstrommel der Aschanti im Palast des Asantehene (Manhyia-Palast) in Kumasi. Sie stellt eine der Staatsinsignien des Königreichs Aschanti dar und wurde in der Vergangenheit nur zur Ausrufung des Kriegszustandes geschlagen bzw. zur Mobilmachung der Aschanti-Armee. Die Totenschädel stammen von Königen, die im Vorfeld der Staatsgründung in der Schlacht besiegt worden waren. Sie sind normalerweise an der Trommel befestigt.
