KLIKOR ICON is a woven encyclopedia of about 200 traditional and modern designs of “Adanu Kete”, that’s the patterned cloth of the Ewe. Woven by 15 Ewe weavers at Blakhud Research Centre in Klikor, Ghana, each design in the cloth is recorded and each symbol is explained (01 HEDZEDE KPLE TODODO - Rising and setting sun: “The rising and setting sun , which comes quicker?”; 02 KPAKPA - Dove: The dove is a sacred bird of the Ewe in Klikor; 03 XEXI - Umbrella: “An open umbrella is not taken to a grove”. Humility counts if one must be reformed; 04 HLETIVI - Star: The Ewe believe in destiny, fate, and mission. So that people are born under different “stars”, which determine their destiny or life performance. The star is therefore an important image or symbol used in weaving).
