" The asen is a portable altar in metal (wrought iron,
either in brass or money for the richest), gone up on a stalk which gets
it all wrong in ground there where holds the ceremony." Sources
Xavière Malabouche
To know more about it on the asen of the Dahomey, I invite
you to read excellent work made by Black Xavière
Malabouche of the gallery of Ebony in Paris.
