About the Item
Vintage West African Tunic with Geometric Design
This vibrant West African tunic was likely made in either Cameroon (Bamum people) or Nigeria (Yoruba people). The indigenous cotton cloth was block-printed and stencil-dyed in green, red and blue. The central field is patterned with eight-pointed stars and spoked circles, while the bottom of the tunic, neck line and sleeves display a range of geometric patterns.
