This is the rating and price for Art Kuba Raffia 'Velvet' African Textile



Description : Antique Kuba Raffia fiber African textile. Measures approx 27 inches by 27.5 inches. Textile has minor surface wear consistent with age. ‘ Kuba textiles are unique in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, formerly Zaire, for their elaboration and complexity of design and surface decoration. Most textiles are a variation on rectangular or square pieces of woven palm leaf fiber enhanced by geometric designs executed in linear embroidery and other stitches, which are cut to form pile surfaces resembling velvet. Kuba textiles demonstrate a taste for interrupting the expected line, they compose through juxtapositions of sharply differing units and abrupt shifts of form.‘ (info from Wikipedia) 7
