Nsisu/Nsodiɛ are usually not created as singles but as a group. The figurative sculpture is created for one who has transitioned together with the portraits of his/her loved ones placed on the tomb or grave of the departed. A personal item is usually inserted into the vessel before placing it on the tomb.
The Insisu are prayed on and blessed by traditional priests and placed at the Sacred Area at Nkyinkyim Museum. Commissioned Nsisu/Nsodiɛ become part of our annual Ancestor Veneration Ceremony. You can also request a special prayer/ remembrance ceremony for your loved one who has transitioned on their birth and transition dates. The styles range from abstract to realistic.
