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.

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.
