Wealth – Kit

Decode an ancient writing system with every stitch.

This unique cross-stitch kit invites you to connect with one of Africa’s oldest and most profound visual languages: Nsibidi. Originating from the Ejagham peoples of southeastern Nigeria and southwestern Cameroon, the Nsibidi writing system is an ideographic script of symbols and signs, once used for communication, record-keeping, and adornment by secret societies and the broader community. Far more than simple decoration, each symbol conveys complex ideas, legal precepts, and philosophical concepts. Stitching a Nsibidi symbol is an act of cultural rediscovery and personal meditation.
