Descrizione : Additional Information: , , ,Kente cloth is the royal cloth of the Ashante, of Ghana. In many cases, the thread was obtained by carefully un-picking silk garments, and reweaving them.

This textile exhibits different types of weft patterns. Each pattern has it own name and a proverb associated to it. It's , a medium size cloth for woman. Recommended Reading: See Clarke's ",ART OF AFRICAN TEXTILES", The best source for pictures and information on Kente textiles is Adler and Barbard's ",AFRICAN MAJESTY,", the ",TEXTILE ART OF THE ASHANTI AND EWE.", , Asare, Kwasi, and Jeff Smith. Kwasi and the Kente Colours. Terna: MJP, 2012. Print. 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.
