The complex gold, green, and red strips of the kente weave glow from within, each gold thread illuminated as if the woven gold is actual light.

A piece of fine art that carries the full political and ceremonial weight of the kente tradition while functioning as one of the most visually striking wall paintings available at Naija Art Store.
