Rulers throughout Africa and in particular the Akan chiefs carry these multi proverbial fly whisks as a symbol of authority and power. According to tradition, the fly whisks are meant to protect the king or holder from harmful forces through the soft stroking of the tail. They dispel evil spirits and cancel witchcraft. They are also used to bless and empower.

Lastly, fly whisks are also used as collateral, when one is in debt, the holder offers the fly whisk to the creditor until the debt is repaid.

Made with real horse hair, a small leather base with a rich brass overlay and engravings decorated by hand. Our horse tail fly whisks are as authentic as it gets.

Discretion: The hair can shed and smell, it can be washed, conditioned or perfumed to be kept clean but do so softly and lightly.

Why The Akan Index?

Handmade in Ghana

Authenticity is everything. We felt that it would not pay homage to our rich culture to place the production of our artifacts in the hands of others. Therefore we employ local smiths and artisans here in Ghana who understand the cultural relevance of our products to design and produce our pieces.

Responsible Labor

We've taken an oath to support healthy, happy & financially beneficial working conditions. We directly employ the original smiths of our ancient jewelery with fair wages and give tribute to the royals who have adorned them for generations. No part of our supply chain is left out, and we're always working to do better.

Cultural Education

Before you wear our pieces, we strive for you to know the history and significance of what you wear and of the people who craft them. It's not just a trendy fashion statement, it's a historical piece that connects us to a lineage of black culture going back thousands of years.
