Description

Although at first glance this looks like an Ewe kente it is actually the work of an Akan weaver in western Ivory Coast, responding to the long history of cloths traded from Ghana to the courts of the numerous small kingdoms in the region. We can observe the rather simplified choices of motifs and colours as compared with the Ewe. Woven from cotton throughout it dates from circa 1980s and is in excellent condition.

Measurements 9’1″ x 6’8″, 278 cms x 204.
