Staffs made of iron and brass were displayed in royal compounds to affirm kingly power. Usually depicting a king with related motifs, they were called "Asen" and commemorated past rulers. They are shown on FON ASEN STAFFS. Some are more abstract or depict birds and served another function. They are shown here. Tops that have survived without their staffs are shown on FON ASEN STAFF TOPS.
