content: From catalog card: "Long square piece of cloth, made up of long strips of cotton cloth, finely striped in green, red, blue, and white. There are also bands at frequent intervals woven into longitudinal strips. From Dahomey [Benin] according to accession papers. From Wydah, Togoland [Togo] according to catalog book. Wydah [Ouidah] is in Dahomey [Benin], not Togo. W.[William] Bascom says this is Keta cloth, made only at Keta, Ghana, by people of the Ewe tribal family. [Perhaps purchased/ collected by Roberts in Ouidah, Benin, but made in Ghana??]
