I would also like to purchase a few examples of the real stamps. Photos are fine, but the real thing is much better. I, too, am looking for Adinkra cloth examples for school kids.

None of my suppliers have anything that resembles adinkra cloth, though here and there is a print that has one symbol as part of the design. I recommend that you refer your students to photos---many available online—for their information & inspiration. This site, for example, is very informative: http://www.marshall.edu/akanart/adinkraposterde.pdf The Newark Museum has something that might be useful: http://www.newarkmuseum.org/TeacherResource.html If anyone else has better suggestions, I’d be happy to learn of factory made adinkra cloth that I could make available to interested readers.

These prices are VERY fair. To see the fabrics produced, click on the PHOTOS link at Richards Foundation website. 1Euro = $1.38 therefore, wholesale price is $9.66/yard, retail is $15.18.
