Hand Embroidered Adinkra Death Textile Ghana 49x102 Inch

 Adinkra Death Textile Hand Embroidered with the wods "Damirifa Due".

"Damirifa Due" is an expression of deep sympathy for someone who has passed away - meaning in Ghanaian language 'May he rest in peace'.

The textile is embroidered with Adinkra, which are visual representations of concepts, proverbs, and aphorisms that are integral to the Asante peoples in Ghana. They are a form of symbolic communication that bridges the gap between the spoken and visual world. The adinkra language, originally seen as prints on cloth worn by royals during important ceremonies, are now widely used in logos and emblems to promote ideas and causes. They are often depicted not only on textiles, but also on wooden objects, jewelry, architecture and in art.
