Description

Beautifully handcrafted genuine antique Kuba cloth from West Africa. A centuries-old West African custom, this fabric is crafted by the Kuba people in what is now the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

Kuba cloth is handwoven using the strands from raffia palm leaves. The raffia strands are dyed in a variety of earth tones using vegetable dyes.
