Vintage African,Dogon Indigo Resist Dyed Fabric/Hand Woven Cotton Strips/38”x56"

Description

Beautiful vintage handwoven cotton and dyed African indigo fabric, made by the Dogon in Mali. Textiles are dyed with the resist, stitch dying technique and each piece is unique. All the ones I will be listing are
hard to find, older indigo pieces in very good conditon unless noted, with the old dyed patterns, and all were used and soft from wear and washing.
This piece has 9 heavier weight, hand woven cotton strips dyed with images that are said to represent Dogon “ladders”; very nice varied blue color to the textile due to slightly different colors of the weaving threads.
38” x 56”, washed, clean, and soft; will not bleed. Very good-excellent condition: ends hand hemmed; 2 small, hard-to-see holes/loosening of weaving that I can see (one toward the end) but better condition than some pieces, and a great design too!
I was lucky to have “first choice” of several large containers of indigos, as they arrived directly from Africa, and have many that I will be selling. I picked ones that were in the best condition, and/or the most unique, but there are almost always a few flaws, which I will note in my listings and photographs.
