Mod note on 'This pattern - is it okay? (Take a look at these hands!)'

Bottlecap: "This does not read that way to me. It just reads like hands. I think you may be getting vibes because of the scheme, which is often associated with kente cloth."

Bottlecap: you are totally not in trouble and this is overall a good answer! However, a user has requested, via flag note, that we clarify that there's a difference between kente (a Ghanaian woven fabric) and kitenge (a wax-print fabric like the one pictured here). And i concur that for reasons of cultural sensitivity, that's a good thing to do, so here we go!
