Originado por los pueblos Akan de Ghana, colorido kente El paño es el más conocido de todos los textiles africanos. Kente la tela se teje en tiras, de ahí su nombre (kente significa "cesta" en el dialecto Ashanti). Rachel Armah de Ghana crea esta colorida bufanda en mezcla de algodón en vibrantes tonos cereza y marfil.

En kente tela, cada color tiene un significado simbólico: el negro simboliza la maduración y la energía espiritual intensificada; el azul significa paz, armonía y amor; el verde simboliza la vegetación, la plantación, la cosecha, el crecimiento y la renovación espiritual; el oro representa realeza, riqueza, alto estatus, gloria y pureza espiritual; el gris es para rituales de sanación y limpieza; granate significa el color de la madre tierra, asociado con la curación; el rosa y el morado están asociados con la esencia femenina y los aspectos femeninos de la vida; el rojo simboliza estados de ánimo políticos y espirituales, derramamiento de sangre, ritos de sacrificio y muerte; la plata está asociada con la luna y representa serenidad, pureza y alegría; el blanco es para ritos de purificación, santificación y ocasiones festivas; y el amarillo representa preciosidad, realeza, riqueza, fertilidad y belleza.

Earrings were pretty, but the metal was not sterling silver and made my ears hurt.
