Das ist der Preis für die folgende Bewertung: Kente Cloth, 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 superb Kente Textile with multiple strips and decorated with complex patterns typical of the Kente cloth. Kente cloth is the royal cloth of the Ashante (Asante) of Ghana. , They are worn by both men and woman. men' cloth are larger than these worn by , women. Legend says that the Kente cloth weavers learned their skill from watching a spider, Anansi, who is a significant figure in African folklore. In many cases, the thread was obtained by carefully um-picking silk garments, and reweaving them. The looms have two or three heddles. (See Clarke's ART OF AFRICAN TEXTILES). Kente cloths are prestigious textiles worn during important ceremonies. They are prized for their colors and weft designs. They are identified by their patterns and the combination of patterns. The names given to the designs derive from the proverbs and popular sayings, nature (plants for instance), historic events, chiefs or queen mothers.
