Kente cloth is deeply intertwined with the history of the Ashanti nation.
The Ashanti Empire, which was located in what is today Ghana, first emerged in West Africa during the seventeenth century.
The Ashanti are members of the Akan people who speak the Akan or Ashanti dialect.
The word “Kente” which means basket comes from the Akan or Ashanti dialect.
Akans also refer to Kente as nwentoma, which means woven cloth.
Kente cloth designs vary, with the different designs, bright colors, banded material and patterns each having their own special meanings and stories.
But Kente cloth also reflects the history of the Ashanti people, from the emergence of the various Ashanti kingdoms.
