- African_textiles abstract "The earliest surviving sub-Saharan African textiles are cloth fragments and parchment fragments that date to the ninth century BC from sites at Igbo Ukwu of the Igbo people of Nigeria. Some twelfth century cloth fragments date from the Tellem caves in Mali. Surviving thirteenth century samples originate from Benin City in Nigeria.African textiles are a part of African cultural heritage that came to America along with the slave trade. As many slaves were skilled in the weaving, this skill was used as another form of income for the slave owner.In most of Africa the weavers were men while the women spun the thread. The weavers in many of the countries were part of a caste-like group and sometimes slaves to noble families. In Yoruba compounds were used where master weavers would teach all the boys weaving and all the girls would learn to spin and dye the yarn. And children did some jobs too, like providing fabric and also weaved at a very young age of 4.Some examples of African textiles are:Aso oke fabric - woven by Yoruba peopleAdire- tie-dye produced by Yoruba peopleKente cloth - woven by Ashanti and Ewe peopleBarkcloth - produced by the Buganda tribeMudcloth- produced by the Bambara tribeKitenge - produced from Kenya and other regions of East AfricaShweshwe – produced in South Africa↑".
