Akwete
アクウェテ織 / late 19th century–present / Estilo / Tradiciones textiles
A textile developed by Igbo women in Akwete, southeastern Nigeria. Broad upright looms and supplementary weft build named chevrons, diamonds, animals, and apparent bands into dense fields of vivid color and occasional metallic thread.
Heavy vertical and horizontal bands dividing the field / Supplementary-weft floats drawing chevrons, diamonds, and animals / Narrow shifts among saturated purple, orange, green, red, and black / Internal repeats and boundary lines making one broad cloth resemble joined strips
