Woven by Nana Tiko in Bonwire, this silk wrapper is handsewn of eight strips with a repeating geometric composition of blocks with zigzags and checkers. In West Africa, cloth is made of wool, cotton or silk, or combinations of these materials. Woven on narrow strip looms, they are then hand or machine-sewn together to create large wrappers, cloths or blankets with patterns dyed or woven into the fabric.
