Item Description

Prized for their unique striped patterns and vibrant colors, these traditional wearable textiles are woven in small strips and assembled to form a large cloth. The delightful compartmental segments are arranged to form enthralling staggered patterns. The colorful vertical stripes are juxtaposed against perpendicular plaid patterns that highlight the densely patterned weft. People, animals, leaves, hands, huts, geometric patterns and symbolic emblems are carefully woven into each boldly striped compartment. Kente cloths and handcrafts created by Ghana's legendary Ewe weavers represent a highly evolved tradition of artistic textiles and wearable cloths that are decorated with symbolic motifs and emblems that represent aspects of everyday life in a colorful and whimsical manner.
