Which West African cloth is interwoven and worn as a garment?

• A. Traditional sub-saharan Art
• B. Traditional African sculpture
• C. Star filter
• D. Kente Cloth

Answer: (D)

Interwoven cloth worn as a garment in West Africa is Kente cloth. It’s created on a loom by weaving together warp and weft threads, producing a durable, colorful fabric with geometric patterns. Originating with the Akan people of Ghana, Kente is renowned for its bright color combinations and symbolic motifs; each color and pattern conveys meaning and status, often reserved for important ceremonies or leaders. The other terms listed aren’t woven textiles worn as clothing—traditional sub-Saharan art and traditional African sculpture refer to forms of sculpture or art, not woven fabric—while a star filter is a camera accessory, not a textile.
