Melbourne, AUSTRALIA: Gallery worker Mary Lou Jelbant inspects a coffin carved in the shape of a shark by the Paa Joe Carpentry workshop in Ghana and commissioned for Festival Melbourne 2006, the cultural festival of the Commonwealth Games, in Melbourne 09 March 2006. The collection of coffins which include a mobile phone, a running shoe and a frilled lizard, celebrate the role of life and death in contemporary Ghanian life and have a special significance to the past life of the deceased. Modern Ghanian funerals are colourful and noisy spectacles with the carved and brilliantly coloured coffins being carried through the town is an integral part of the ceremony.
