AFRIKA pendant comb without chain
AFRIKA pendant comb without chain: these typical combs mean the world to AD.
They signify Africa, 6000 years of culture, politics and identity from its origins in ancient Kemetian culture. Once upon a time it symbolised ‘status, group affiliation and religious beliefs’.
Moving through the 19th and 20th centuries to the 1960s African-American civil rights struggle, when it took on a cultural and political significance.
The ‘black fist’ was added to the bottom of afro combs in reference to the Black Power fist salute of the Black Panther movement.
Many black men and women used it as a hair accessory embracing their natural hair. It was also used it to express their cultural pride.
The historical stories are endless and the Africa comb has come full circle. It still plays an important role in the creation and maintenance of afro hair styling. AFRIKA pendant comb rocks!
