The Retso print comes in red (masculine) & blue (feminine). It is associated with hunters, those who work & mbira musicians If you dream about it, you have a Karanga or Ndau ancestor & need it for healing particularly if your illness cannot be diagnosed & spiritual protection.
It can be worn by anyone but is mostly worn by healers in Zimbabwe. The pyramid pattern links back to Kemet. The colours red, black & white the colours of Anu/Antu, the original human ancestor. The Shona word for people is vanhu meaning descendants of Anu like the Nguni Bantu.
The grey one with white spots is known as guru re hanga. Hanga means guinea fowl in Shona. It’s not very common, worn mostly by indigenous healers. It would carry the same qualities as the impangela print worn in SA.
