Shown in silhouette, a graceful woman balances a pot on her head. Emmanuel Atiemoh Yeboa portrays her in oils on cotton calico, adding cutouts of African kente cloth for her dress. The composition arrives in a frame of ceiba wood.

Wrap yourself in the feeling of sweet victory with this attractive shawl, presented by Ghana's Madam Adwoa and Onyame Akwan Dooso. This kente garment has been handwoven into a checkered motif, featuring the legendary golden throne of the Ashanti people. The loom used to make this shawl is small in width, so each strip is made individually and then sewn together to make three rows. Each color in a kente cloth symbolizes something significant. Black represents mystery, red represents victory, and purple represents royalty.
