{"product_id":"kala-dikenga-tee-no-02","title":"Kala — Dikenga Tee No. 02","description":"\u003cp\u003eKala is the rising sun: birth, the first step, pure potential. In the dikenga cycle the new sun breaks the Kalunga line on the right-hand side, half risen, its first rays cutting upward into the dark. The Kala emblem holds that exact moment in an embroidery-style print medallion of charcoal, ivory and pale gold on deep black: the instant before everything, when nothing has been spent and everything is still possible. This is the piece for departures and rebirths, for the first morning of the new city, the new name, the new chapter, the thing you finally started.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003chr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e(Français)\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKala est le soleil levant : la naissance, le premier pas, le potentiel pur. Dans le cycle du dikenga, le soleil neuf perce la ligne Kalunga à droite, à demi levé, ses premiers rayons montant dans la nuit. L'emblème Kala fixe cet instant exact dans un médaillon imprimé effet broderie, charbon, ivoire et or pâle sur noir profond : le moment d'avant tout, quand rien n'est dépensé et que tout est encore possible. La pièce des départs et des renaissances, du premier matin de la nouvelle ville, du nouveau nom, du nouveau chapitre.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCe que ça signifie \/ What it means\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn Kongo cosmology, life is one sun moving through four moments: conceived at midnight (Musoni), born at dawn (Kala), at full strength at noon (Tukula), passed to the world of the ancestors at dusk (Luvemba).
