Seat of the King African Kente Cloth Cotton Fiazikpui Scarf (1 Strip)

Gobah Tengey-Seddoh

(8)

Golden yellow stool thrones alternate with black and white squares and stripes in this bold cotton kente scarf. Ghana's Gobah Tengey-Seddoh Family selects the Fiazikpui pattern for a scarf of one single fabric strip.

The "Fiazikpui" motif is created primarily on the weft, or horizontal threads of the loom. The design, which means, "Seat of a King," originated in the 14th century to honor one of the head chiefs or kings of what is now Ghana.

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.

Edwene Asa 2 colourful African Kente Print 2-Layer Contour Face Masks

Justina Botwey

(15)

A colourful cotton print depicts Ghana's traditional Edwene Asa kente design. The phrase means "all motifs are used up" in the Akan language, indicating the number of different patterns combined in this one. Each colour in kente cloth has its own meanings in Asante culture. Green is fertility and new harvest, gold is royalty, black is strength, aging and spirituality, and white is purity.

Justina Botwey uses the fabric to craft a pair of beautiful contoured face masks. Lined in solid white, both are double-layered, washable and reusable, with elastic loops to slip over the ears. "To me, the combination of colours in this kente design indicates that, despite our differences, we are still one people," the artisan affirms.

The position of individual prints and colours will vary but the fabric will remain the same.

Kente cloth wall art, 'Xylo Player'

Emmanuel Atiemoh Yeboah

(16)

A resounding note of tradition, the xylophone rings with delightful melodies under the guidance of a Hausa musician from northern Ghana. Emmanuel Attiamo Yeboah creates a patchwork of music and artistry to render a fascinating collage painting. “First and foremost, I assemble my working tools,” explains Yeboah. “I sketch images on the calico cloth. With the sketches done, I sprinkle red and green oil paints on the calico cloth to give it a simple colorful background. I then cut out particular places I intend to replace with batik or kente, which are later glued together. Afterwards, I dry and frame my collage work.” The kente cloth brings a sonorous accent to the otherwise monochromatic composition, rendering this portrait a fascinating addition to a refined setting.

Arrives framed in sese wood.

Charming Wood Sculpture

This is a very interesting wood sculpture from West Africa. Her dress is made from local fabric which is colorful and her matching earrings and necklace complete the outfit I love Novica's collection of wood statues as they are always authentic and very appealing. Rochelle New Jersey
