Ewe Kente cloth mid 20th C
Measurements: 171 x 103cm
Price: £420
This strip woven fabric from Ghana is among some of the most prized weavings in the continent. This is a pretty piece with a predominantly plum field. I love the variation in each rectangle which mirrors that balance of regularity and randomness seen in tribal oriental rugs. This is a good old piece and a rare design.
Condition:
There a couple of tears towards one end and it is a little faded but otherwise sound.
