Cotton kente cloth scarf, "Victor"
Using black on white, Gobah Tengey-Seddoh creates an outstanding example of kente cloth art. 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 honor people, historical events or proverbs.

"Exquisite Pattern!"
I can wear this with a suit or jeans. It dresses up anything. I always get compliments on it, and people wonder where I got it. I always tell them. I have scarves from all over the world. This is the best way to get them without traveling.

"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.
