Handcrafted for ceremonial use, raffia Kuba cloth expresses the art and culture of the Kuba people of Congo. Employing ancient African techniques, the men hand weave the raffia fibers on single-heddle looms, then soften the rough cloth, called "mbal", by pounding it in mortars. Kuba women hand stitch the appliqués, following their inspiration as the labyrinthine designs take shape. Bold, textural and traditional, each pillow is exquisitely one of a kind.Note: This item is not available for shipping. Please select "Pick Up In Store" option during checkout.
