This is an Old beautifully woven piece of Kuba Cloth that comes from the Kuba
Tribal people of Zaire. Kuba cloth is woven from raffia palm leaves. Production
of the fine decorative textile is a series of endeavors engaging both men and
women. The men are responsible for the growing, tending, harvesting and weaving
of the cloth. The women are responsible for preparing it for decoration by
pounding the stiff, rough cloth in a large wooden mortar until softened, for
hemming and in some cases, treatment with brown, wine-red, black blue or yellow
dye from local plant sources. The women create the cut pile embroidered panels
as well. The men's dancing skirts are significantly longer than that of the
women’s, sometimes having distinct borders with fringe and raffia bobbles.
