Net

Woven by hand, this exceptional kente cloth scarf features black rectangles on a white background. Alternating squares show a fishnet pattern giving the scarf its name – Do, or 'Net' in the Ewe language. By Gobah Tengey-Seddoh, 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.
