Handwoven Kente Placemats
These beautiful handwoven placemats are made by Bob Dennis Ahigable, a master weaver of Ewe Kente. Ewe Kente is more subtle in color and pattern than the typical Ashanti Kente. The yarn is woven into narrow strips on wooden double-heddle looms, operated by simple foot pedals. Strip-woven cloths manufactured using cotton and vegetable dyes are an ancient art form in West Africa, dating back to at least the tenth century. These weavers use the same equipment and techniques as their ancient forefathers - a testament to the beauty and uniqueness of the cloth.
