About sizing: Every piece is hand-woven, so sizes vary a little from cloth to cloth. Most measure about 6 ft 1 in × 4 ft 1 in (roughly 2 × 1⅓ yards, or 185 × 124 cm). Some are slightly smaller, but none is shorter than 6 ft in length.
Woven in Akwete
Made on the wide upright loom in Akwete, an Ndoki community in Ukwa East, Abia State, where weaving has been passed from one generation of women to the next for well over a century.

River line
A running zigzag for the rivers and creeks around Akwete: movement, trade and the journey outward.
