Cream Aṣọ-Òkè Cotton Princess Kaftan with Burgundy Gold

1970s · 1970s · Nigerian

A floor-length kaftan featuring traditional Nigerian aṣọ-òkè weaving with geometric patterns in burgundy and gold on a cream ground. The garment displays wide, flowing sleeves and a loose, columnar silhouette that drapes from shoulder to floor. Vertical bands of interlocking diamond and chevron motifs run down the center front and back, with complementary border patterns along the sleeve edges and hem. The handwoven cotton textile shows the characteristic strip-weave construction of aṣọ-òkè, with rich earth tones creating rhythmic geometric sequences. Brown trim edges define the neckline and structural seams.
