Repost from @africanceremonies - TURKANA, Kenya: "Unmarried girls wear brightly beaded necklaces, belts, and medallions. They often wear more vibrant colors than married women to attract the eye of potential husbands during the courtship dances."

The Kente Cloth is a silk and cotton fabric made of interwoven cloth strips native to the Akan ethnic group of Ghana.
The word “Kente” means basket and comes from the #Akan or #Ashanti dialect. Akans also refer to Kente as nwentoma, which means woven cloth.
#Kente cloth is mostly made in the Ashanti Kingdom, including the towns of Bonwire, Adanwomase, and Ntonso in the Kwabre areas.
According to Ashanti legend, two brothers came across a spider named #Ananse spinning a web. Amazed by its beauty they replicated it into cloth and from that point on, kente was woven into Ghanaian history #Ghana365 #Asante #kentecloth #Africa #PanAfricanism #AfricanPrint #AfricanCulture #Akwaabauk #Accra #Kumasi #madeinGhana #culture #Diaspora @urge2pose @kristline__ @maxwelljennings
