The wood-carvers of Kloto are famous for their "chains of marriage": two characters are connected by rings drawn from only one piece of wood.

Dyed fabric batiks of the art center of Kloto present stylized scenes of everyday life. The loincloths used in the ceremonies of the tisserands of Assahoun are famous.
