*The history of Ghanaian kente*

The history of kente weaving extends back more than 400 years. The word 'kente' comes from the word 'kenten' which means basket. The very 1st kente weavers used raffia or palm leave fibres and wove them into a cloth that looked like a basket. One story about kente says that two friends learned to weave by observing a spider weave its web. They wove in imitation of

the spider, using raffia fibers to create a strip of fabric. Their leaders were so impressed with this new cloth that it became the royal cloth and was saved for special occasions. There are more than 300 different patterns of kente cloth. Each pattern has a name and its own meaning. The meanings come from past events, religious beliefs, political ideas, and social customs.
