The Prince of the Asante Kingdom, Nana Kwame Baffoe IV, was among the distinguished royals who participated in the poignant one-week commemoration of the late Asante Mamponghene, Bretuo Piesie Daasebre Osei Bonsu II, which took place on May 12 at Asante Mampong.

This solemn event served as an opportunity for the community and leaders to honour his legacy and contributions to the Asante Kingdom.

Nana Kwame Baffoe IV made a striking impression in a stylish black ensemble, painstakingly crafted with intricate Adinkra symbols that held cultural significance, symbolising concepts such as unity and strength.

His attire was complemented by unique handmade royal accessories, including a matching arm cuff that highlighted his status.

He crowned his look with an elegant black turban, traditionally worn by royals, which added an element of formality and dignity to his appearance.

To complete this regal ensemble, he opted for stylish native sandals, luxurious yet comfortable for the occasion. Accompanying him, his subjects proudly held a flamboyant royal umbrella, a symbol of honour and respect, as they escorted him throughout the ceremonies.

In attendance was the traditional wife of the Asantehene Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, Nana Yaa Sarpomaa III, who radiated elegance in a sophisticated black ensemble.

Her carefully tied headwrap exuded grace, while her flawless makeup enhanced her regal presence.

She accessorised her look with an expensive wristwatch featuring a black strap and adorned her wrist with delicate beaded bracelets that reflected her high status.

Earlier, YEN.com.gh wrote about the Bretuo family, in adherence to Ashanti customary rites, officially informing the Asantehene of the passing of Daasebre Osei Bonsu II.

On May 5, Otumfuo directed the Asante Mamponghemaa, Nana Agyakoma Difie II, to initiate burial arrangements promptly, stressing the importance of upholding traditions during this time of mourning.

He emphasised that the one-week observation of the Paramount Chief, who held a significant position as second-in-command of Asanteman, should take place without delay, underlining the urgent need to prepare for the Doteyie burial rituals.

Daasebre Osei Bonsu II had sadly passed away a few weeks prior due to a brief illness, marking a profound loss for the Asante Kingdom.
