CODE #: K115 PRICE: US$220 Measurement: 67 inches x 42 inches, 170cm x 106cm. This Asante cotton womans' wrapper cloth is a rare example of a blue and white mmaban or "mixed" pattern. Similar pieces can be seen in the National Museum of African Art collection (published Ross 1998:292 & Gilfoy 1987:73) and in the Adler collection - Adler & Barnard 1992:7.) This fine old cloth dates from around 1930s to 50s and is in reasonable condition, with some sun-fading. . (c) Duncan Clarke, Version 6/25/2003 |
