CODE# K145 PRICE US$950 MEASURES: 129 inches x 90 ins, 322cm x 229cm A superb example of the sought after kente pattern called "Sika Futuro" or "gold dust" which alludes to the pre-colonial use of gold dust as a currency and hence to the wealth and prestige of the wearer of this fabric. This is a particularly elaborate version with exceptionally varied weft float motifs. In excellent condition and dates from circa 1940s. (c) Duncan Clarke, Version 10/28/2006 |
