Kuba Textile Panel, Congo, Central Africa

The Kuba textile Woven from raffia palm fibre, it features a striking geometric pattern of interlocking diamonds and zigzags, skilfully woven in contrasting dark and light tones. A darker brown shade is intricately woven to create a striking division into four distinct sections, seamlessly incorporated into the overall design. These sections are then masterfully woven together into one unified piece, adding to the textile's visual appeal. This textile originates from an ex-French collection and was crafted in the mid-to-late 20th century. The dimensions are L 82 cm x W 42 cm.
