This very unusual cloth was collected in north east Côte D'Ivoire but
is at least provisionally attributable to the Ewe on stylistic grounds.
The ground weave of this old and heavily worn cloth is of hand-spun
indigo dyed cotton, which is extremely rare on Ewe cloths. The borders
are also unusual with a switch away from the more regular layout of the
main field to a cramped seemingly random placement of weft blocks and
motifs.
Dating from early
C20th or perhaps late C19th, this cloth is quite faded and has a few
repairs made using a strip from the edge of the cloth.
