Details

Los hilos de algodón añaden una rica textura a este brillante chal de tela kente de la familia Gobah Tengey-Seddoh. Las franjas de negro, blanco y azul crean una combinación de colores espectacular y atractiva. Diseñado y tejido con algodón tosco local en el siglo XII, el lokpo patrón significa "textura pesada o gruesa".

Cada tira requiere un esfuerzo considerable, y los telares se trabajan tanto con las manos como con los pies. Las tiras son generalmente de tres a cuatro pulgadas de ancho y siete a diez pies de largo, y el tiempo que lleva completar una tira varía según la complejidad del patrón elegido. Los patrones más simples usan principalmente patrones verticales o de urdimbre, y un tejedor experimentado puede hacer varios de esos en un día. Sin embargo, los patrones con casi todos los patrones de trama (hilo horizontal) donde el diseño de la urdimbre es apenas visible pueden tardar hasta cuatro días en completar una tira individual. Cada color tiene sus propios significados en la cultura Asante. El verde es fertilidad y nueva cosecha, el dorado es realeza, el negro es fuerza, envejecimiento y espiritualidad, mientras que el blanco es pureza. Los patrones en sí mismos son símbolos cuidadosamente elegidos, que un maestro tejedor desarrolla y nombra, a menudo para honrar a personas, eventos históricos o proverbios.

Beautiful work - Yet incorrect description!”

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.
