Kuba cloth tapestry

Hashtag, Kuba cloth.

Rare and quite difficult to make, Kuba cloth might just be one of my favorite handwoven traditional technique.

Using the leaf of the raffia tree, the Kuba people of the Congo first hand cut, and then weave the strips of leaf to make pieces of fabric, often called raffia cloth.

This is handmade in Congo. The pattern, and each designs in traditional kuba fabrics has great meaning for prosperity, abundance, peace and harmony with nature.

Width is approximately between 19" inches- 20" inches and length is approximately 38" - 40" inches, edges are slightly irregular making this piece a real artwork.
