Elder Ewe Gentleman Ewe Tribal African Mask with Kente Cloth from Ghana

Winfred Korley

(11)

With furrowed brow and thoughtful eyes, an elderly gentleman comes to life in an African mask. Applications of white clay create an aged, antique effect while a cap of Ghanaian kente cloth adds color. Winfred Korley names his original design Efo, meaning "senior" in the language of the Ewe people.

Textured Blue Handmade Striped Cotton Kente Cloth Scarf from Ghana

Gobah Tengey-Seddoh

(9)

Cotton yarns add rich texture to this brilliant kente cloth shawl by the Gobah Tengey-Seddoh Family. Strips of black, white and blue make a dramatic and handsome color combination. Designed and woven of coarse local cotton in the 12th century, the lokpo pattern means "heavy or thick in texture."

Each strip requires considerable effort, and the looms are worked with both hands and feet. Strips are generally three to four inches wide and seven to ten feet long, and the length of time it takes to complete one strip varies by the complexity of the chosen pattern. The simplest use mostly vertical, or warp patterns, and an experienced weaver can make several of those in one day. However patterns with nearly all weft (horizontal thread) patterns where the warp design is hardly visible can take up to four days to complete an individual strip. Each color has its own meanings in Asante culture. Green is fertility and new harvest, gold is royalty, black is strength, aging and spirituality, while white is purity. The patterns themselves are carefully chosen symbols, which a master weaver develops and names, often to honor people, historical events, or proverbs.

Healing Cotton Blend Kente Cloth Scarf Handwoven in Ghana

Gobah Tengey-Seddoh

(9)

Combining shades of lime green and black, Gobah Tengey-Seddoh creates an outstanding example of kente cloth art. Gray derives its symbolism from ash, used for healing and cleansing rituals. Black represents physical aging and the spiritual maturity it brings. Each strip requires considerable effort, and the looms are worked with both hands and feet. The patterns themselves are carefully chosen symbols, which a master weaver develops and names, often to honour people, historical events or proverbs.

Kora Player II African Kente Cloth Wall Collage

Emmanuel Atiemoh Yeboah

Music banishes sorrow as a man plays the kora, a stringed instrument of Northern Ghana. Proudly wearing traditional kente cloth, he plays sweet melodies and sings. Emmanuel Atiemoh Yeboa portrays him in oils and ink on calico, adding cutouts of kente cloth for his robe and turban. Original and beautiful, the work provides a glimpse of contemporary life in West Africa. It arrives in a frame of ceiba wood.

Kente Man Men's Hand Made Wood Pendant Necklace

Ralph Ashong

(6)

Ghana's legendary kente cloth traditions inspire Ralph Ashong in the design of this necklace for men. Historically reserved for the nobility and the rich, kente patterns and colors are unique to the weavers that design them and the symbolism they confer to them. Ashong's pendant replicates kente artistry with images colored with a clay solution on a hand-carved teak wood pendant that hangs from an adjustable leather cord.
