This 20th-century Kente cloth, crafted by the Ewe people, showcases a vibrant geometric pattern of yellow, red, and blue stripes interspersed with repeating rectangular motifs. The intricate weaving technique is a testament to the Ewe's skilled craftsmanship and artistry, and the cloth likely served a ceremonial or decorative purpose. It is currently housed at the Minneapolis Institute of Art.
