    jk18

    		Tradition has it that this stool, covered with pure gold, floated out of the sky and landed on the lap of the first Asantehene (Asante king), Osei-tutu. He unified the people in the 17th centrury. His chief priest declared that the soul of the nation resided in this stool.
    In reality the stool was created by: Anokye, the chief priest of Osei-tutu.
