Kente cloth became especially symbolic when Ghana gained independence in 1957 and the country’s president and strong proponent of Pan-africanism, Kwame Nkrumah, wore it often. The Republic of Ghana presented the United Nations with a kente, the traditional hand woven-cloth of Ghana in 1960. Executed in pure silk, this Kente cloth measures 6 by 3,65 meter. It’s the largest known kente cloth, called ‘tikoro nko agyina’, which means, one head does not constitute a council.
