Adanudo

Ewe · Ewe / Volta Region & Togo · Textile

Adanudo is a name sometimes given to a distinctive type of Ewe strip-woven cloth featuring a rich variety of weft-float inlaid pictorial motifs (adireafricantextiles.com). Smith (Seattle Art Museum, 2018) translates the term as 'skilled or wise cloth'; museum collections such as the Harn Museum catalogue Ewe weft-float cloths under this name.

The museum displayed an adanudo with inlaid figurative motifs.
