Golden yellow stool thrones alternate with black and white squares and stripes in this bold cotton kente scarf. Ghana's Gobah Tengey-Seddoh Family selects the Fiazikpui pattern for a scarf of one single fabric strip.
The 'Fiazikpui' motif is created primarily on the weft, or horizontal threads of the loom. The design, which means, 'Seat of a King,' originated in the 14th century to honor one of the head chiefs or kings of what is now Ghana.
Each strip requires considerable effort, and the looms are worked with both hands and feet. Strips are generally three to four inches wide and seven to ten feet long, and the length of time it takes to complete one strip varies by the complexity of the chosen pattern.
