Vintage Authentic African Kuba Cloth Textile Panel - 140 " Long
Item History & Price
Reference Number: Avaluer:49783873 | Handmade: Yes |
Featured Refinements: Kuba Cloth |
HUGE Kuba Cloth - 140" long and 25" wide. Similar to mudcloth, kuba cloth is hand sewn, and has traditional patterns. From Congo, each pattern is symbolic and a piece can have multiple meanings.
Condition is good, some discoloration. Never attempted to clean it. Seams are intact. Damage to one area is shown in the pic.
I hung the cloth draped over a dowel - so it is twice as long as shown in the photos! In the photos you only see 70" of length.
Bought from an Afric...an antiques dealer in NYC. This is an incredible piece.
