Two figures flank a cooking pot, and one clearly has opinions about dinner

This frankaa OR ASAFO military FLAG is Fante, from Ghana, West Africa, and dates to the 20th century. It is cotton. Many flags are made of cotton in appliqué, and some carry the British Union Jack in the upper corners, which collectors generally use as a clue to the era of making. A cream banner framed by a broad dark band, with a small flag square at the top left. Two appliqued figures face a black pot with a blue figure rising from it. Light staining marks the field and fringe edges the cloth. It is 60 inches wide and 41 long.

A kitchen drama stitched in felt, with a sizeable audience of one.
