Classic hand tailored and hand embroidered robe with the two knives pattern on a background of hand spun cotton indigo dyed cloth called "Etu" or Guineafowl." Along with madder dyed magenta silk and beige local wild silk sanyan, this dark indigo etu formed a triumvirate of highly prestige cloths in C19th and C20th Nigeria. This superb example is in excellent condition and dates from very early in the C20th.
