Description
Superb vintage African traditional tribal textile art sample hand crafted by the Bakuba people framed behind glass.
Kuba textiles are unique in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, formerly Zaire, for their elaboration and complexity of design and surface decoration. Most textiles are a variation on rectangular or square pieces of woven palm leaf fiber enhanced by geometric designs executed in linear embroidery and other stitches, which are cut to form pile surfaces resembling velvet. Women are responsible for transforming raffia cloth into various forms of textiles, including ceremonial skirts, ‘velvet’ tribute cloths, headdresses and basketry.
Among the Bakuba it is the men who do the weaving, and the women do the embroidery and applique' work to their textiles.
Nice collectors piece in modern frame perfect in a modern or mid century interior.
Measures 73 cm x 58 cm
One of two different examples of this art I will be selling from my personal collection. Photo of Second one is included but not part of this auction.
