Kente is a traditional royal cloth, woven by the people of Ghana in vibrant colors on a hand loom for ceremonial occasion Kente is an Ashanti ceremonial cloth, which is hand woven on a horizontal loom. The term “kente” has its roots in the Akan word “kenten” which means “a basket,” because of the cloth’s resemblance to the woven design of basket weave. It is believed that the first kente weavers used raffia to weave a cloth that looked like “kenten” or basket, and thus the name “kente-ntoma”-(basket cloth). The original Ashanti name of the cloth was “nsaduaso” or “nwentoma” meaning “a cloth hand woven on a loom” .
