This mug brings together two powerful threads of West African creativity:
The ancient cosmic wisdom of the Dogon people and the vibrant, symbolic language of Ankara fabrics.
Inspired by the sacred geometry of Dogon priests, whose spiritual traditions map the stars and the earth, the design echoes the deep connections between humanity, nature, and the universe. The Dogon’s profound knowledge of the Sirius star system and their use of symbolic patterns in ritual masks and shrines serve as a celestial backdrop.
Layered over this is the bold energy of Ankara fabric motifs — Ghana’s living tradition of storytelling through color and pattern. Each Ankara print carries a message: proverbs, community values, and life’s celebrations, passed down through generations in vibrant, wearable art.
By blending these two traditions, this design honors the sacred and the everyday, the ancestral and the modern — a fusion of West African wisdom and style, now carried into your daily rituals.
Perfect for your morning coffee or evening tea, this mug is not just functional — it’s a small ceremony of connection.
