Atoghu

Symbols, Regalia & Heritage of the Grassfields

A documented record of the meanings behind Toghu

Every symbol embroidered into a Toghu garment carries meaning — identity, rank, lineage. Few of these meanings have ever been written down. This book brings together oral history, royal and liturgical tradition, and the families, palaces, and convents who keep the craft alive — documented in full color, motif by motif.
