Kat Baxter curator of archaeology, on Wednesday, May 15, 2024, cleans a lion-shaped coffin (reflected in a glass cabinet) that was made by world famous Ghanaian coffin carpenter Paa Joe, known for carving elaborate custom abebuu adekai, or 'proverb boxes', which aim to capture elements of the deceased person's life. The coffin forms part of the Living with Death exhibition at Leeds City Museum, which explores the different ways people experience death, dying, and grief.
