What makes the kente an extraordinary version of an ordinary object?

Kente is, at its core, an ordinary garment or textile, something existing in every culture. But when we look into it, we see Kente is woven in hundreds of patterns full of symbolism and history. Every pattern is different and with its name. It is reserved for ceremonial occasions. These facts all make Kente a very extraordinary version of something that is an otherwise everyday object.
