Ann an Ghana, tha na cisteachan-laighe a bhios muinntir Ghana a' d猫anamh a' riochdachadh obair
an neach a bh脿saich, nan rudan anns an robh an 霉idh, na h-inbhe sh貌isealta a bh' aca no am meas a bha an luchd-gaoil a' cur orra. Th猫id grosair-mheasan a thiodhlacadh ann an tom脿to no uinnean fiodha. Tha na cisteachan-laighe air leth maiseach; gheibh cluicheadair ball-coise ciste air cumadh br貌ige le tacaidean, agus th猫id iasgair a thiodhlacadh ann an iasg fiodha.

Ealain s貌ghail adhlacaidh air a dheagh chumadh, a tha gu bhith falaichte fon talamh - tha deas-ghn脿than adhlacaidh nan Ga s貌nraichte dha-r矛ribh agus tha luchd-tionail bho thall-thairis a' t貌iseachadh a' gabhail 霉idh ann an ealain nan cisteachan-laighe.

In Ghana, the coffins made by the Ga people represent the occupation of the deceased, their interests, social status or whatever they meant to their loved ones. A greengrocer will be buried in a wooden tomato or an onion. The coffins are highly decorative, for a football player there is coffin in the shape of a studded boot, and a local fisherman is buried in wooden fish.

Highly crafted, sumptuous funeral art that is all destined to end up under the ground - the funeral rites of the Ga are unique and overseas collectors are starting to show an interest in their coffin art.
