In his writings, Amadou Hampâté Bâ connected this African philosophy of craftsmanship with similar practices found around the world. He mentioned how, in Peru, craftspeople approached their work with the same spiritual reverence. For Amadou, the simple patterns on everyday items weren’t just decorative – they symbolized the deeper unity of all things. Pots, fabrics, and jugs were imbued with intention, carrying invisible bonds that linked the material world with the sacred. Amadou’s insights revealed that these traditions, whether African or Peruvian, reflected a common belief in the interconnectedness of life and the soulfulness of everyday objects.
