Improving African Futures Using Lessons from the Past

Spindles and whorls resting on a strip-woven cloth, Ahenkro, 2019


Description:
Three spindles with painted spindle whorls made in Kokua in 1994 rest on a black-and-white strip-woven cloth worn by a woman attending the Banda Heritage Celebration held at the Banda Cultural Centre. In the past Banda area women used spindles and whorls like these to spin cotton thread. Ahenkro, 28 June, 2019.
