African Ashanti Kente Cloth #17544

Admire the vibrant beauty and rich textile tradition of this authentic vintage Ghanaian Kente cloth, handwoven from cotton in a striking combination of red, gold, green, and deep burgundy. Kente weaving is one of Ghana's most celebrated artistic traditions and is particularly associated with the Akan peoples, including the Asante, among whom finely woven cloth was historically connected with royalty, status, and important ceremonial occasions. Traditionally woven in narrow strips that are carefully joined together to create a larger textile, Kente is distinguished by its bold colors, intricate geometric motifs, and rhythmic patterns. This impressive vintage cloth features a lively arrangement of stripes, diamonds, and other geometric forms framed by richly patterned borders, making it equally suitable for display as textile art or for use as a decorative throw, wall hanging, table covering, or in original design projects. Measuring approximately 40–48 x 75–85", its generous size creates a particularly striking display. Each vintage cloth is unique and may show slight variations and signs of age consistent with its handmade character and history. You will receive a cloth similar in style to the one pictured.
