Abstract | Adinkra cloth is a stamped fabric that is made in Ghana, Africa. Symbolic motifs that represent proverbs are carved from calabashes, a type of gourd, and are dipped into a black dye made from the bark of the badie tree. Adinkra artists divide the fabric into squares and create patterns and repetitive designs using the inked stamps. When it is used for funerary or ceremonial occasions, Adinkra cloth is yellow or red. However, the stamped designs are always printed in black. Adinkra cloth has been used traditionally for funerary occasions, but has grown in popularity and the symbols can be seen on a variety of clothing and objects. This article describes how to make Adinkra banners. (Contains 1 online resource.) (ERIC). |
