This gameboard has been vetted as authentic but with little age or use.
Asante gameboards range from everyday objects with monumental, simple
forms to ornate pieces bringing status to the owner. They often have a supporting
structure similar to that of Asante stools. They all show the creativity
and power Africans put into functional objects.
