African Ashanti Kente Cloth #17540

Admire the rich color and intricate craftsmanship of this authentic vintage Ghanaian Kente cloth, handwoven from cotton and individually selected for its distinctive character. 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 by joining narrow handwoven strips together to form a larger textile, Kente is renowned for its rhythmic geometric patterns and sophisticated combinations of color. This unique cloth features a particularly harmonious arrangement of burgundy, gold, deep blue, green, cream, and soft pink, with alternating striped and patterned sections creating a wonderfully varied yet balanced composition. Measuring approximately 40-48 x 71-75", its generous size makes it ideal for display as textile art, a wall hanging, decorative throw or table covering, or for incorporation into an original design project. As a vintage handmade textile, minor irregularities and signs of age may be present and contribute to its individual character. This is a unique, individually selected piece, and you will receive the exact cloth pictured.
