This is a small cloth for a female.
You wear it in this way.
They open her legs and pull the cloth back...
..and cover their body this way.
The other one for the blouse,
and the other one for the toga.
That is for a female.
And the man can wear...
A man to wear ...
That is bed cloth.
For example this is a mourning cloth.
You just open it
and put your left hand in and bring your hands right out.
Put it up.
You fold it up to your arms and tie it here.
Then you can go,
wherever you want to go.
Dark red and black cloths are worn for funerals,
especially adinkra cloths,
printed with symbols chosen for their meaning.
The head of family must be in the red.
Then others in the family who are close will also wear it,
only to show to people that they have lost an important person,
they have suffered a loss of virility.
All others will wear dark.
Modern printed cloths are also used for solemn occasions.
Here, the ram's horn symbol has been interpreted for Christian use.
This is a small family who are Catholics.
We lost our beloved father on the 29th of November,
so, we buried yesterday, and came for the thanksgiving at the cathedral.
Would you tell us why you chose that particular adinkra print?
It looks like a sign of victory which our father has won on earth here.
It is only Jesus who brings victory.
Therefore, it is a symbol of victory our father has won on this earth.
That is why the design is like that.
