Woven by hand, this exceptional kente cloth shawl features subtle motifs in marigold orange. The black and white stripes create a bold and beautiful contrast. By the Gobah Tengey-Seddoh family, 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 honor people, historical events or proverbs. This design is named Fiawogorme, which means "after kings" in Ghana's Ewe language.

"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.

"Beautiful workmanship"
I received the scarf today and I am so glad. It is a beautiful scarf that I am going to gift with the Kente backpack that I ordered before. I am sure this will be a special gift for the person I am giving it to. It is beautifully done with gold keys and stripes.
