Das ist der Preis für die folgende Bewertung: Ewe Handwoven Men Cloth Superb Large Togo Ghana African, Mid 20th Century

Beschreibung : We do not recommend laundering textiles, and do not accept returns of textiles which have been laundered in any manner. , Even dry cleaning is too much for some of these antique textiles. , For some of them, a very gentle HAND washing , (NEVER MACHINE, on any setting) , in cool water with a very gentle detergent works, but even then, dyes may not be colorfast, and fabric may be less strong than it appears. Additional Information: A large , Kente cloth wore by Ewe or Asante men. Strips are hand nicely sewn together. Estimated age more than 40 years. Such , clothes are found among , the Ewe and Ashante, of Ghana. In many cases, the thread was obtained by carefully un-picking silk garments, and reweaving them. The looms have two or three heddles. Legend says that the Kente cloth weavers learned their skill from watching a spider, Anansi, who is a significant figure in African folklore.
