content: "Dreadlocks: One Love". Painting by Rastafari artist Epress Olivir. Oil on cloth approximately 1.5 x 2.5 feet. Painting depicts a male and female Dreadlocks couple dancing. The sun and the planets are stylistically represented. Couple is surmounted by a pair of joined hands linked by a 'mystic eye' and a tongue emanating from the base of the hands. Upon the tongue is a representation of three 'white sons' which point to the prophecy in Revelation 2:17: "To him that overcommeth will I give to eat of the hidden manna. And I will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written - which no man knoweth, saving he whom receiveth it." Members of the movement understand that name to be: "Ras Tafari." Collected by Susanne Moss, Senegal, February, 2001.
