About Ashanti flags

According to my files the flag of the Ashanti has several variations. Sources are McMeekin [mee03] and the Fachinger-collection at the Museum at Bremerhafen (DE).

Pan african tricolor

According to Nations Without States [mnh96], the flag of Ashanti national movement is a horizontal tricolor of red, yellow, green with a five-pointed white star in the upper hoist. I’m not sure where the author obtained his information, but perhaps the flag is that of some contemporary Ashanti political movement.
