West African Adinkra Vessel
LaDeDa Gourds - Karen L Caldwell
West African Adinkra Vessel
$95.00
Original
Description
Adinkra is a cotton cloth produced in Ghana and Côte d'Ivoire which has traditional Akan symbols stamped upon it. The adinkra symbols represent popular proverbs and maxims, record historical events, express particular attitudes or behaviour related to depicted figures, or concepts uniquely related to abstract shapes. It is one of several traditional cloths produced in the region – the other well known cloths being kente and adanudo. On this gourd there are five Adinkra symbols representing 'unity in diversity,' 'the power of love,' 'transformation', 'peace,' and 'universe.' The design is woodburned, dyed, inked and painted.
The rim is shaggy sea grass cord embellished with tribal beads, bone beads, and glass beads.
