Die farbenfrohen kente genannten Umschlagtücher bestehen aus bis zu über 20 separat gewobenen und zusammengenähten Streifen. Gewoben wurden diese ausschliesslich von Männern, getragen aber auch von Frauen.

Sie sind als Bekleidung persönlicher Besitz und damit äusseres Zeichen von Prestige, Rang und Zugehörigkeit. Wegen ihrem Wert, der sich aus Materialkosten, Arbeitsaufwand und der subjektiven Schönheit errechnet, wurden sie auch als Tauschmittel, Geschenk und Wertanlage verwendet.

Gewisse Farben, Anzahl Banden und Motive sind für bestimmte Ränge und Zeremonien reserviert. Die in die Schmalbandwebstreifen eingearbeiteten scheinbar gleichmässigen geometrischen Motive besitzen Namen, die für Eingeweihte ähnlich Piktogrammen lesbar sind.
