"Earthen Arrows" Rust & Black Geometric African Wax Print (Ankara) – 6 Yards

Make a powerful statement with this striking 6-yard piece of African Wax Print (Ankara). This design masterfully blends deep, earthy tones with sharp, high-contrast geometry. A rich burnt rust background, printed with a detailed texture resembling woven basketry or traditional mud cloth, sets the stage for bold black blocking and crisp white tribal motifs. It is a fabric that feels both ancient and aggressively modern.

The Design & Symbolism

• The Chevron Shield: The central white motifs—stylized arrows or shields framed by dots—are strong symbols often associated with direction, protection, and forward movement.

• Woven Texture: The rust-colored areas feature an intricate cross-hatch pattern, giving the fabric visual depth and mimicking the aesthetic of traditional hand-woven African textiles.

• Geometric Balance: Strong vertical lines of white triangles cut through the design, providing a rhythmic counterpoint to the solid black blocks, creating a dynamic, balanced composition.

• Color Palette: A warm, grounding trio of Burnt Rust, Jet Black, and Bright White. This unisex palette is incredibly versatile for fashion and home decor alike.
