Consulter la cote et le prix de Hausa Grand Boubou Shirt Striped Pants Nigeria , Mid 20th century



Description : Additional Information: A superb outfit in fair condition with only a few wear, holes,  ,and stains. This elaborate outfit was made by the Hausa of Nigeria using a cotton cloth made of several strips and embellished with beautiful embroidered designs typical of the Hausa, Nupe and Yoruba. Such outfits were found , among all these groups. , Hausa are known as the great weavers in the Nigeria and surrounding countries. They used to make outfits , to sell to , the Yoruba and , neighbors. This is a prestigious costume. Traditionally, the extent of the embroidery on a riga identifies the wealth of the owner. also called ",grand boubous Riga. The robe was worn bunched at the shoulders.", See similar examples, and learn more (especially if you read German!) in BOUBOU-C'EST CHIC, from the Museum der Kulturen, Basel, by Christoph Merian Verlag.  , We do not recommend laundering textiles, and do not accept returns of textiles which have been laundered in any manner. , Even dry cleaning is too much for some of these antique textiles. , For some of them, a very gentle HAND washing , (NEVER MACHINE, on any setting) , in cool water with a very gentle detergent works, but even then, dyes may not be colorfast, and fabric may be less strong than it appears. I have examined this piece and agree with the description. Niangi Batulukisi, PhD. ,
