Vintage Authentic African Kuba Cloth 76”x22”

Description

This is a lovely hand crafted piece of Vintage Authentic African Kuba Cloth. Measures 76”x22”. Made of woven raffia fibers, softened, and colored using vegetable dyes. This piece has 8 separate rectangular shapes of fabric sewn together in the long runner fashion. Intertwined within the pieces is embroidery designs with cowrie shells. Hand woven there are irregularities in piecing of designs. I have tried to capture close up images of tears in the fabric. This piece is in good condition, meaning there are tears and wear in the fabric.
This piece of Kuba fabric would make a lovely table runner or wall hanging in your home. Very rare with the cowrie shells and embroidery details. A fantastic piece!
If you clean this fabric - use cool water in basin with very mild detergent. Do not scrub. Pat dry and hang to final dry or lay flat to dry.
Non smoking environment.
