Symbols in the After-Life The Kuba believe that a high quality, correctly patterned raffia dress is key to being recognized by clan ancestors in the land of the dead, so families accumulate the cloths and pass them down through the generations. This authentic ceremonial Kuba cloth is handmade from natural woven raffia, dyed naturally and adorned with flat-weave applique and are truly one-of-a-kind. Made in a patched applique design with cowry shells.
