MAN’S ROBE. Ewe people, Ghana. This old man’s wrap was collected in Kpetoe, an important Ewe weaving center, from John Akpoa who stated that it had belonged to his grandfather, Torgbui Kavi and that he had stored it with other important cloth in a box in his home (see Lot #24). Consisting of 20 hand woven, hand sewn strips, it has no weft blocks and only 5 inlay designs or “scriptures” in the warp (one representing a four-legged animal, another a bird in flight, and the others abstract forms). Dating from the early 20th century, this cloth is an excellent example of early Ewe weaving lacking weft blocks. Several different warp strip patterns are represented. Although Ashante cloth is named for its warp stripe designs, this is not a custom with Ewe textiles. Cotton. 77in x 119in.
