Vintage brown and black earth tones African applique Kuba textile. Patchwork and embroidered applique design and tribal woven pattern. In shades of brown, black, camel, taupe and natural. The word “Kuba” means “lighting” referring to the blades that were once used by Kuba warriors. These Tactile 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.” Size: 21.5″ W x 132″ L.
