    A beautiful traditional Kuba textile from the Kasai region of the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
    Made from hand-woven and hand-finished raffia fibers, this piece features a particularly expressive geometric design combining zigzag lines, diamonds, and contrasts of natural and dark tones.
    The raised texture, achieved through the cut-pile embroidery technique, lends the piece a remarkable richness of texture.
    These textiles showcase the craftsmanship of the Kuba artisans, whose creations are prized for their graphic inventiveness and striking modernity.
    An antique piece collected in the Congo, displaying the irregularities and signs of wear inherent to its history.
    A beautiful piece of African art, ideal for display in a frame or as wall decor.
    Origin: Democratic Republic of the Congo, Kasai region, Kuba culture.
