Zaire Zigzag African Kuba Cloth Panel

A captivating masterpiece of African textile art, this vintage Kuba cloth panel is a testament to the unparalleled craftsmanship of the Kuba people. Hailing from the Democratic Republic of Congo, this handwoven treasure showcases intricate geometric patterns meticulously embroidered with natural fibers. The Kuba people's artistry is evident in the unique "cut pile" technique, where raffia fibers are skillfully cut and knotted to create a rich, textured surface adorned with symbolic designs. Each pattern on this Kuba cloth tells a story, reflecting the Kuba people's deep-rooted beliefs, social hierarchy, and spiritual connections.

With its compact size of around 20 inches, this versatile African textile offers endless possibilities for contemporary decor. Imagine it framed as a standalone statement piece or incorporated into a gallery wall for a vibrant cultural accent. Alternatively, transform it into luxurious pillows, cushions, or table runners to infuse your space with ethnic elegance. 

Please note that the panels are not sold mounted or framed. They are mounted in the photo as an inspiration picture.
