    DescriptionAdire eleko is a free-hand painted fabric first done ca. 1910; the main center of production is Ibadan. This particular pattern arrangement is named “Olokun” and consists of ten large squares on each half (each wrapper consists of two lengths of commercial cotton cloth sewn together) bordered by smaller rectangles. The letters OK appear somewhere among the patterns. The mark on the outer edge is the signature of the woman who painted the cloth.
