Details

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.

“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.
