The broom is adorned with African cowrie shells, florals, metal stools from the "lost wax method" on a tye dye African fabric embossed with the Sankofa symbol.
The pillow, completing this pair, has a long gold adjustable ribbon with accents in the center.
Cowries are used to represent prosperity and goodness in your new life together.
JUMPING THE BROOM
In time past our ancestors created a ritual to formalize for themselves their entrance into holy matrimony. “Jumping the broom” signifies this leap into a united life.
As a way to honor their Ancestors and Elders for their love and contributions as well as honor their personal union, couples continue this blessed tradition.
SANKOFA
“go back and fetch it”-Adinkra, Ghana
Sankofa represents the wisdom of learning from the past to build the future. The Ancestors forged ahead and passed on the torch of learning to better our future.
We use it to also honor our Ancestors and Elders and the creation of a new union of love, happiness and commitment to our future together.
