KUBA TEXTILES COME FROM THE CONGO, FORMERLY ZAIRE. THEY WERE USED AS OFFERINGS AS WELL AS CURRENCY. THEY ARE MADE OF RAFFIA FROM THE PALM TREE, DYED BY WOMEN AND WOVEN BY MEN. IT IS A VERY TIME CONSUMING PROCESS SOMETIMES TAKING A MONTH OR MORE TO MAKE ONE. COMMONLY KNOWN TO DISPLAY UNEVEN EDGES, THIS ONE IS UNUSUALLY EVEN AND BORDERED ON EACH SIDE WITH RAFFIA BALLS. THIS IS A PARTICULARLY UNIQUE AND BEAUTIFUL EXAMPLE. THEY MAKE SPECTACULAR WALL HANGINGS OR TABLE RUNNERS. THIS PIECE MEASURES 13'5" LONG AND 28" WIDE AND IS IN PERFECT CONDITION OTHER THAN THE SMALL REPAIRS QUITE OBSCURE. THIS IS TRULY A TREASURE!! THE PIECE IS FOLDED IN HALF LONG WAYS AND THEN REVERSED IN THE PHOTOS AS TO SHOW THE COMPLETE DESIGN. AN ABSOLUTE ONE OF A KIND!
