Framed Congo Kuba Textile with Black Frame

Vintage Kuba Textile from the Congo, formerly Zaire, are uniquely different for the complexity of design. this variation is rectangular and exemplifies the artistic geometric variation.

In the 17th and 18th centuries, the Kuba Kings were “ivory trade” rich, fantastically wealthy. They invested in bespoke ceremonial wardrobes to announce their wealth to the world and would compete to see whose patterns were the wow-est of them all! The men were typically responsible for the raffia palm cultivation and the weaving of the raffia cloth. Women then took the cloth and applied the flat linear designs to the surface. The longer cloths can reach up to 20 feet long and were worn as unisex skirts wrapped around and belted. This long, serpentine pattern Applique cloth is framed in three sections for dramatic long walls. The Arrangement’s Rustic Modern style is the utilization of artifacts in a new way for a different influence in daily living.

At this point it’s impossible to accurately date the cloths. This one can be hung vertically or horizontally.
