Details

Ghana's Madam Adwoa and Onyame Akwan Dooso employ traditionally handwoven kente cloth to create a modern twist in this scarf. A cotton blend is woven into intriguing geometric shapes, while soft fringe adorns the ends. This particular design is reserved for queens during special dancing occasions. Each color symbolizes something significant in Asante culture. Here, yellow is wealth, red is victory in war and green represents growth.
