The Weight of the Ndop Cloth (Part One)
If you have lived in the North West and West Regions of Cameroon, it is almost certain that you have seen the blue and white fabric generally known as Ndop. The intricacies involved in the production of this cloth are probably the main reason for its designation as a fabric for the blue bloods, nobles and the privileged. The geometric patterns or designs on the fabric are said to have metaphysical connotations and it is for this reason that the cloth is meant for initiates only.
