Kuba Textile Panel, Congo, Central Africa

This finely crafted Kuba cloth, woven from raffia palm fibre. It features a striking geometric pattern of interlocking diamonds and zigzags in contrasting dark brown and light beige tones. The diamonds are delicately outlined, with subtle variations in size and arrangement adding to its intricate appeal. A light repair is present in the centre, while the hem shows minimal wear, both of which enhance its rich character and timeless charm. Ex French collection, mid to late 20th century, measurements are L 57 cm x W 40 cm.
