The answer is Ga - Fantasy coffins are popular among the Ga, a West African cultural group.

The Ga sculpt coffins in the shape of animals: Hen, lion, gazelle, zebra etc. The motif of the eagle is rather reserved for the political elite because this animal makes reference to the god SAKUMO whereas lions, crabs or roosters are exclusively reserved for the chiefs of the clans because they are mythical animals of Ga.

The most recent sculptures are becoming more and more delirious: coffins in the shape of a cell phone or a Coca-Cola bottle !!
