  4. Coffin Art- Ghana • The fantasy or figurative coffins from Ghana, in Europe also called custom, fantastic, or proverbial coffins (abebuuadekai),[1] are functional coffins made by specialized carpenters in the Greater Accra Region in Ghana. These colourful objects, which are not only coffins, but considered real works of art, were shown for the first time to a wider Western public in the exhibition Magiciens de la Terre at the Musée National d’ArtModerne in Paris in 1989. • The reason that mainly the southern Ghana-based Ga people use such elaborate coffins for their funerals is explained by their religious beliefs regarding the afterlife. They believe that death is not the end and that life continues in the next world in the same way it did on earth. Ancestors are also thought to be much more powerful than the living and able to influence their relatives who are still alive. This is why families do everything they can to ensure that a dead person is sympathetic towards them as early as possible. The social status of the deceased depends primarily on the importance, success and usage of an exclusive coffin during a burial.
