2 Antique African Kuba Woven Artisan Mats A

Item Details

Description

This lot of two African Kuba artisan woven mats/rugs are from the mid to late 1800s. The unique textile pattern displays chevron and diamond shapes with a play on contrast. Not perfectly square. These pieces are in very good antique condition! Please see detail images. They measure approx 23" x 22" and 23 1/2" x 22" KubaÂ cloth is just starting to become popular in the United States. Using the leaf of the raffia tree, theÂ KubaÂ people of the Congo first hand cut, and then weave the strips of leaf to make pieces of fabric, often called raffia cloth. Each fabric, each pattern, and each design in traditionalÂ kubaÂ fabrics has great meaning.
