Clan Emblem Date Unknown

This woven Clan Emblem, crafted by the Mbole people, presents a compelling array of geometric symbols, resonating with deep cultural meaning. The lozenge, prominently featured, echoes across time from ancient textiles to modern corporate logos, symbolizing interconnectedness and potential. Consider its appearance in the eyes of ancient deities, or even in the patterns of a harlequin's costume; it speaks of liminality. The triangles, pointing in opposing directions, suggest a duality – perhaps representing balance or opposition, mirroring the complex social structures within the Mbole clan. These motifs are not static; they are dynamic carriers of cultural memory, subtly shifting with each iteration. We see echoes of these shapes in works from completely different cultural contexts and eras. This emblem becomes a potent reminder of the cyclical nature of symbols, constantly evolving and resurfacing, reminding us of the collective, subconscious threads that bind us across time.
