Black Green and Orange Kente Cloth

Kente is woven on a horizontal strip loom, which produces a narrow band of cloth about four inches wide. Several of these strips are carefully arranged and hand-sewn together to create a cloth of the desired size. Most kente weavers are men.

Kente cloth designs vary, with the different designs, colours, and patterns each having their own special meanings and stories. But Kente cloth also reflects the history of the Ashanti people

Due the the vintage nature of this Kente cloth there are a few marks due to wear and some of the stitching where the panels join may need reinforcing.
