Large Antique African Kuba Textile Museum Mount in Lucite Shadowbox Wall Hanging
About the Item
Professionally museum mounted exceptional antique African Kuba textile with brown small textile fragments woven into the geometric pattern in Kuba raffia woven patchwork, raffia black velvet border appliqué panel around three sides of the textile .The word “Kuba” means “lighting” referring to the blades that were once used by Kuba warriors. These textiles from the Congo are each handcrafted in the traditional way, the men weaving on a small hand loom and the women taking great pride in their embroidering of these squares. Kuba ceremonial squares can take three months to complete. A technique known as "cut pile" in which the ends of the raffia embroidery threads are cut very short & close to the surface, produces a soft texture similar to velvet. They are used as body wrappers, mats, blankets or used as currency.
Textile size only: 55” x 29”.
