FraFra People ( North-East Ghana)

The Frafra live in the North eastern part of Ghana close to Bolgatanga. They live in small compounds organised by family. They are well know for their pottery. Their terracotta's are used for household. Some small nice terracotta pipes depict familylife, some rare pieces are anthropomorphic  representing ancestors.
