Combinando tonos de gris pálido y negro, Gobah Tengey-Seddoh crea un excelente ejemplo del arte de la tela kente. Gray deriva su simbolismo de la ceniza, utilizada para los rituales de curación y limpieza. El negro representa el envejecimiento físico y la madurez espiritual que trae consigo. Cada tira requiere un esfuerzo considerable, y los telares se trabajan tanto con las manos como con los pies. Los patrones en sí son símbolos cuidadosamente elegidos, que un maestro tejedor desarrolla y nombra, a menudo para honrar a personas, eventos históricos o proverbios.

The description and card for the scarf named Healing is the same as for the scarf named Victory. Thease lines in particular are misleading Combining shades of pale gray and black...Gray derives its symbolism from ash, used for healing and cleansing rituals. I thought there was an issue with my screen or the photo causing the scarf to look yellow - but once received the scarf is definitely a sickly pale yellow and not gray or ash as described. This is very disappointing as I valued the symbolism of ash & healing.
