Description

This vibrant hand-woven Kente cloth is an authentic West African textile created within the esteemed Ewe–Asante (Ashanti) weaving tradition of Ghana, one of Africa’s most celebrated and historically significant textile arts. Woven from a luxurious blend of silk and cotton, this piece reflects generations of master craftsmanship and cultural storytelling.

The design features a dynamic palette of magenta, green, golden yellow, and deep black, arranged in rhythmic geometric bands that are both visually powerful and symbolically rich. In traditional Kente language, these colors represent vitality, growth, prosperity, and spiritual strength, making the textile not only decorative but deeply meaningful.

Kente cloths were historically worn by royalty and nobility and used in ceremonial and important social occasions, symbolizing status, wisdom, and cultural identity. Today, authentic Kente is highly sought after by collectors and interior designers for its bold graphic presence and refined hand-woven texture.
