Ntikuma

Akan · deity · cosmogonic · Recorded classification

Ntikuma, eldest son of Anansi and Aso. In the pot-of-wisdom tale it is Ntikuma whose remark — that the pot would be easier carried on the back — shows Anansi he had not gathered all the world wisdom after all (the moment already recounted in the Anansi entry). Materialized as the named son of the household.
