- Man weaving the rural area around Kano. Note the long thin warp which is attached to a large stone to keep it taught, and is slowly drawn nearer the weaver as it is completed. These thin strips were usually in black and white and were sewn together to make wider cloth. See [2016.17.7] for a headdress being worn by a Fulani girl made of this cloth.
