African textiles display a wide variety of weaving traditions, dyeing techniques, decorative symbols, and materials used across the continent. Strip-weaving on portable horizontal looms has been practiced for centuries and remains closely associated with many West African textile traditions. Examples include Kente and Ewe cloths, Aso Oke textiles, Bogolanfini mud cloths from Mali, Kuba raffia textiles from Central Africa, and finely embroidered Wodaabe garments from Niger. African beadwork and textiles often combine weaving, embroidery, leatherwork, appliqué, and symbolic geometric decoration.
