A brief history of the Ɔbɔman kyew/Ntakrakye of Adukrom Okere and how it was acquired
"The Ntakrakyew, also known as "Ɔbɔman kyew" or "Kamkam Awoso", is a sacred hat created by Okomfo Anokye for Otumfuo Osei Tutu. This powerful war spirit was worn by the kings as they led their people into battle, signifying strength and protection. The hat's creation is steeped in history and symbolism, with Okomfo Anokye using elephant bones, eagle feathers, tiger tail, golden knots, horns, and a vulture's head to craft it.
In 1826, during the Akatamanso war, Okuapemhene Nana Addow Dankwa I bravely captured the Ntakrakyew from the Ashantis. Later, in 1866, after the Awunasa war, Nana Kwadade (Okuapemhene) honored Nana Opare Ababio (Nifahene) by gifting him the Ntakrakyew.
This revered symbol of power and courage is treated with great respect and care, with restrictions on who can wear it and how it's handled. Its significance is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the Akuapem people."
