African Ashanti Kente Cloth #17536

Admire the distinctive character of this authentic vintage Ghanaian Kente cloth, handwoven from cotton in an unusual palette of deep navy, golden yellow, green, and muted rose. Kente weaving is one of Ghana's most celebrated textile traditions and is particularly associated with the Akan peoples, including the Asante, among whom finely woven cloth was historically connected with royalty, prestige, and important ceremonial occasions. Traditionally constructed from narrow handwoven strips carefully joined together to form a larger textile, Kente is recognized for its rhythmic patterns, geometric motifs, and skillful use of color. This individually selected cloth features a particularly striking composition of dark finely striped fields punctuated by colorful woven panels and framed by bold patterned borders. Measuring approximately 40–48 x 71–75", its generous size makes it well suited for display as textile art, a wall hanging, decorative throw or table covering, or for use in an original design project. This is a unique vintage piece and may show minor irregularities and signs of age consistent with its handmade character and history. You will receive the exact individually selected cloth pictured.
