    Description

    Large piece. Multi-coloured sections. Bright blue and red and yellow – yellow and red – green, red and yellow “Gucci” type stripe. Sewn onto black velvet.
    Probably the most famous textile in all of Africa, the prestigious Kente weaving style of the Asante people is mythically attributed to the web making of a spider, Anansi. Kente has been called the most labor-intensive cloth ever made, and uses strips of cloth stitched together.  Women’s cloths are typically smaller than men’s.  Each Kente displays a unique pattern of vibrant colors.
