Categories:
ADINKRA MOURNING CLOTH. Ashante people, Ghana. This type of dark robe is worn by a man attending a funeral or other solemn occasion. It is decorated with Adinkra symbols that form a language with social, theological and philosophical meaning. The word “Adinkra” may derive from the name of a 17th century Ashante king, Nana Kofi Adinkra, or from the word “dinnkera” meaning “saying goodbye”. In this example, the stamps made from dried calabash rinds were applied with a special black ink to one side of dark blue cotton damask cloth. The underlying pattern in the shiny damask cloth is visible. This cloth was collected in the town of Ntonso from the maker, Samuel Amankwatia Evans in 2004. It consists of two joined sheets of damask cloth measuring in toto 100in x 144in. See Quarcoo 1994 for explanation of the symbols.
