Story behind:
This dress is named after Kwifo, which literally means, the King's assistant. It presents an emblem of the Kom culture, from Cameroon: the double bell. The double bell is a royal symbol. It is used to gather the people at the beginning of ceremonies. For example, at the arrival of the King Afo-A-Kom, the Kwifo was heard.
In Kom, tattooing and scarification were meant for the royal women. When these women were putting scarification or tattoos of royal symbols (like the kwifo), people could see that the woman was from the palace, and they should not attempt to vie for her attention.
These women chose their lovers themselves. Once the girl had seen her first potential lover, it was time for the tattoo specialist to perform the art. According to the Kom, this was to bestow on her a special status among commoners and also served as a warning to men who intended asking her hand in marriage. (Walter Gam Nkwi, University of Buea, Cameroon)
The double bell is presented here by the traditional Berber pompom from Morocco.
The dress is made in veil fabric, decorated with wool pompons. There is a zip on the side of the dress.
