Instructed to have a small figure carved and treat it as a real child, she eventually gave birth to a daughter, astonishing her friends who exclaimed, \"Akua, wo ba ni\" (Akua, this is your child). Subsequently, barren women among the Akan use carved akuaba figures to seek children, either keeping them as companions or placing them in shrines after childbirth as offerings and reminders.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e These figures, often adorned with white clay when used in shrines, communicate messages to the spirits. At home, akuaba are dressed, accessorized, and styled with carved hairstyles. Some may have facial scars, not for aesthetics but to deter spirits from reclaiming them.

He was an engineer, an inveterate climber, and a long-time collector of books and paintings. Spurred by the Douglas Society at the Denver Museum of Art, and his friendship with noted collector George Heggarty, he began building an enormous, eclectic collection. His African art library grew to several hundred books. He loved textiles and “material culture”-things that had domestic use, like spoons, cups, stools, and chairs, as well as masks and carvings. His collection included items from more than thirty African countries, and his fine eye gave him pieces ranging from a gold dust scale to huge Dogon figural ladders.

The cloth was known to be worn by Kings, Queens, and important figures of the state in Ghana’s society during ceremonial events and special occasions. The Kente cloth received its name from the term “kenten,” which means “basket,” because of the cloth’s woven design. Each Kente pattern was unique and had its own name. Weavers used vibrant colors in silk to create a beautiful weaving pattern with complex designs to portray the cloth’s profound philosophical meaning. Kente cloths represented the history, philosophies, ethics, and moral values of the Ghanaian culture. Today, Kente cloth is worn for many occasions such as graduations as academic stoles by many African American students during graduation ceremonies, the stoles presented to them individually during pre-commencement rituals called Donning of the Kente. They are also worn for Juneteenth, Kwanzaa, and other holidays as it is a means of connecting African Americans to their African roots.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWe do not recommend laundering textiles and do not accept returns of textiles that have been laundered in any manner.
