A traditional purple cloth dress with embellishment, from Ghana
"Traditional cloth dress with embellishment, can be worn for any occasion. This is donated by my aunt Miriam Agyemang. What is unique about this dress is the man playing a traditional instrument from West Africa, known as storytelling – a unique way of communicating with the locals. She would wear this here in Edmonton when the summer is here, in celebration of the summer season and as a remembrance of back home. She would wear this when home sick, as a way of connecting back to her roots. Made in Ghana by one of the local seamstresses. It is over 20 years old – she has been wearing this for all these years.
