Abstract Kente has gained considerable prestige in terms of recognition among all African textiles. Amidst its popularity, kente or kete cloth has experienced several transitions from its initial form through to its current state. The study presents an account on the developmental phases of Ewe kete cloth in the Volta region of Ghana. The study which was carried out in Agotime-Kpetoe and Agbozume in the Volta region employed purposive sampling to identify a group of weavers, elders, and the chief of Agotime. Interviews and observation were used as tools in collecting data on various aspects of the study. Analyzed data revealed that kete development has encountered some historical influences as a result of migration from other communities. There has also been a shift in design trends from traditional ideologies to customer-centered concepts and preferences, and the consequence of the occurrence of foreign materials in the production of the kete cloth. This study recommends ways of preserving Ewe kete weaving culture and the establishment of regulatory bodies to check the quality standards of kete products.

沃尔特地区科特发展状况

摘要 肯特在所有非洲纺织品中获得了相当大的声誉。在它的流行中,kente 或 kete 布经历了从初始形式到当前状态的几次转变。该研究介绍了加纳沃尔特地区 Ewe kete 布的发展阶段。在沃尔特地区的 Agotime-Kpetoe 和 Agbozume 进行的这项研究采用有目的的抽样来识别一组织工、长老和 Agotime 的首领。访谈和观察被用作收集研究各个方面数据的工具。分析数据显示,由于来自其他社区的迁移,科特的发展受到了一些历史影响。设计趋势也发生了从传统意识形态到以客户为中心的概念和偏好的转变,以及在 kete 布的生产中出现异物的后果。本研究建议了保护 Ewe kete 编织文化的方法和建立监管机构来检查 kete 产品的质量标准。
