I really like this piece because I can't get bored with it. Every time I see something new in the strange abstract shapes applied to this piece. It is a traditional women's wrapping skirt of the Ngeende tribe, part of the larger ethnic group Kuba from Congo-Kinshasa.
The cloth is made of raffia onto which strange abstract shapes have been applied, a technique called applique. It consists of four individual panels which together form a large canvas.
It is a fantastically original and traditional piece that works very well in a multitude of interiors.
I have the original hanging on a light blue background above my bed.
If you prefer a different background color than matte black, feel free to send me a message and I'll customize it for you.
The original size of this piece is 240 x 75 cm.
