Men's Traditional Slippers
Ghanaian Handmade Leather Men's Traditional Sandals.
Size 7/8
30 cm L
This beautiful Ghanaian Traditional Slipper, locally known as
Ahenema.
It is usually worn by chiefs, queens, elderly people, the rich or well-to-do. It is the royal footwear of the Akan and symbolizes pure elegance and class. It is worn during traditional events like festivals, funerals, marriage ceremonies and also worn for church functions in modern times.
Nowadays, the Ahenema has become everybody’s fashion item - whoever can afford it just like traditional Kente cloth.
In the olden days, when these sandals were made for Chiefs, it was to be named after the King. But since the name of the King was not to be mentioned in vain, they rather named the sandals after the children of the Kings and hence the name Ahenema which translates as "The King’s Children".
An Ahenema has 2 main types: “Asansan Tuo” which has a curved shape and “Atine” which has a straight shape and worn by Chiefs.
The sole of an Ahenema slipper is shaped into the letter 8 for stability during walking.
In the past skins like Tromoo for the sole, and goat skin for the inner sole was used.

It is 1667 and the mighty naval war between the Dutch and the English still rages. Sir Francis Courteney and his son Hal, in their fighting caravel, are on patrol off the southern Africa, lying in wait for treasure laden galleon of the Dutch East India Company returning from the Orient. They have a letter from Charles II sanctioning them to hunt down and capture enemy ships 'beyond the line'.

A FALCON FLIES Audiobook
2 x AUDIO CASSETTE TAPES
* NEW - Still in sealed plastic wrapper * *
Read By Martin Jarvis.
Running time approx 3 hours.
A Falcon Flies is remarkable for its sense of the African wild, grimly informative about the slave trade, and alive with the obsessions and impossible love of its strongminded heroine. It is the first of the Ballantyne novels.
Dr Robyn Ballantyne, daughter of a famous missionary and explorer, returns on a joint expedition with her brother Zouga to southern Africa, the land of her birth, fired with the desire to bring the Africans medicine, Christianity and an end to the slave trade, still flourishing in 1860. Both are also looking for their lost father, who disappeared on a missionary mission years before.
She discovers that the clipper ship she and her brother are taking passage on from England is in reality a slave ship and the debonair American captain, Mungo St John, a slaver himself. Irresistibly attracted to this man but at the same time repelled by his ruthlessness, Robyn resolves to fight him to the last – a course she is supported in by the fanatical anti-slave trader and English naval captain, Clinton Codrington, with whom she makes contact in Cape Town.
When she and her brother then take passage on Clinton's ship to their destination in Portuguese East Africa, her resolve is further reinforced by their encounter with a slave dhow whose cargo of human misery they try to save from wreck on a reef while the Arab slaver flees to safety.
On arrival at the mouth of the Zambesi, Robyn and Zouga leave Clinton, who is by now deeply in love with Robyn. Together they plunge into the uncharted African interior, experiencing the beauty of an undiscovered land, and the terrors of a treacherous guide and hostile tribesman. But the simmering conflict between them soon makes it clear that further travel together is impossible. Zouga's desire to seek his fortune and Robyn's obsessions with tracing their legendary father and investigating the slave trade are incompatible.

EYE OF THE TIGER
Read by Miles Anderson. *New - still in sealed plastic wrapper * Running time approx 3 hours. 2 x CASSETTE TAPES. From best-selling novelist Wilbur Smith, The Eye of the Tiger is an exciting adventure set amongst the peaceful islands of the Indian Ocean, where a man's past returns to hunt him down.
'I was looking down, watching the shark come. It seemed to swell up in size as it rushed towards me. Every detail was burned into my mind in those frantic seconds. I saw the hog's snout with the two slotted nostrils, the golden eyes with the black pupils like arrowheads, the broad blue back from which stood the tall executioner's blade of the dorsal fin.'
Harry Fletcher, a man with a chequered past, has reformed and is making an honest living as a charter skipper fishing for big game in the seductive waters of the Indian Ocean. Suddenly men from the world of violence Harry has put behind him overturn his good intentions, involving him in a hectic race to recover a fabulous treasure from an ancient wreck.
