African Ashanti Kente Cloth #17543

Admire the distinctive character of this authentic vintage Ghanaian Kente cloth, handwoven from cotton in a sophisticated palette of earthy orange, burgundy, cream, olive, blue, and black. 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 joined together to create a larger textile, Kente is known for its intricate geometric patterns, rhythmic stripes, and remarkable variety of designs. This particular cloth features a beautifully balanced patchwork of striped panels in warm, muted colors, giving it a distinctive vintage appearance. Measuring approximately 40–48 x 64–70", it is generously sized for use as a wall hanging, decorative throw, table covering, textile art, or as material for an original design project. This is a unique vintage piece and may show minor irregularities or signs of age consistent with its handmade character and history. You will receive the exact cloth pictured.
