Ghanaian Asante People Man's Cap: "Kufi"
Collection: Everyday Connections
The "kufi," a cylindrical, flat-topped cap, is typically worn by men. This kufi is made of printed cotton, to resemble "kente".
Kente is made by the Asante and Ewe peoples and is the best known of all African textiles. Kente comes from the word "kenten," which means basket. The Asante peoples also refer to kente as "nwentoma" or woven cloth.
Asante kente is identified by its multicolored patterns of bright colors, geometric shapes and bold designs. Strip cloth in West Africa is woven primarily by men. Kente consists of multiple woven strips. Each strip is woven in a continuous band, four to eight inches wide, that is later cut into shorter lengths and sewn together into a single cloth.
