    Description

    Beautiful, vintage, hard to find indigo ikat dyed textile by the Baule people of the Ivory Coast and Ghana. 10 very soft, medium weight, tightly handwoven strips sewn together, showing a striking graphic design, and decorated throughout with small areas of embroidered colored yarn. The Baule are only one of two peoples in West Africa that do ikat dyeing of their weaving thread.
    40” x 56”. Very good condition: Fringed ends with a woven tight strip to prevent unraveling; strips were machine sewn together but some later minor seam repair and one seam opening; one large hole toward the bottom; minor edge wear; one tear in an outer strip; a few tiny, hard to see holes. But piece is quite nice and I have lowered the price for the little bit of damage.
