The Kente Cloth is
an Asante ceremonial cloth hand-woven on a horizontal
treadle loom. It is made from
threads of different colors. The weaver may use
red, green,
yellow and black
threads to weave the strips of cloth. The
cloth is worn during very important social
and religious occasions. Many variations of Kente
are woven by various ethnic groups in Ghana and
elsewhere in Africa.
