Colorful Antique Ewe Kente Cloth Textile, Country of Origin: Africa, Circa Date: Early 20th Century. A striking textile piece made from handwoven Kente cloth, mounted for display. Crafted by Ewe weavers, this magnificent antique Kente textile features an enrapturing selection of traditional striped patterns that are created on narrow looms and stitched together.
The textile features a geometric patchwork of bold stripes and blocks in indigo, ochre, red, and green, each panel carrying the rich tradition of West African weaving. This unique piece is a beautiful example of a culture that uses colors to create a language of symbols. This exceptional Kente textile showcases a formal symmetric composition that incorporates consistent hues of rich navy blue and bold saffron yellow, which represent harmony and abundance.
Equipped to hang vertically or horizontally, it makes an amazing large-scale statement, bringing warmth and color to your space.
