An exceptionally artistic, hand-drawn composition combining geometric patterns that express key Grasslands cosmological signs and cultural emblems. This is one of three individually woven and patterned panels that were joined to make a long man’s skirt wrapper worn on formal and festive occasions such as masquerade performances. Ndop cloths were also displayed as hangings and backdrops on ceremonial and funerary occasions. The textiles are associated with royal patronage and the elite.
