  Shoowa Raffia Textile



 
Alternative Views:
These unique raffia cut pile cloths using wonderful complex geometric designs were so treasured that at a time the Kuba people traded them as currency, and were used to judge status.  The inventiveness of the pattern is what made these highly prized pieces. They were sewn together for ceremonial dress and used to cover royal stools. Use them as a mat if you dare, framed and hung or display on a chest or over the arm of chair. They are mini masterpieces.
