Aṣọ-òkè is a Yorùbá strip-woven cloth worn for both casual and special occasions. Narrow strips woven by men using horizontal looms are sewn together to make wrappers or other garments. The blue example resembles the indigo-dyed aṣọ-òkè sewn underneath many of the panels in the egúngún masquerade costume in our exhibition #OneEgngn. Aṣọ-òkè was sewn into the costume because of its many cultural meanings, and because its durable weave can withstand an egúngún’s vigorous dancing. The other examples were worn by women for special occasions.

adireafricantextiles The zigzag pattern in image four was called "Eko bridge" after the zigzag iron struts on the first bridge joining Lagos Island to the mainland that was built early in the twentieth century. The cloth itself dates from around the 1970s or 1980s.
