Description

Striking in its distinctive geometric patterns, this Kuba cloth pillow is a unique accent piece for both modern and eclectic interiors. Made from raffia palm leaves by the Kuba people of central Africa, (now the Democratic Republic of Congo,) the Kuba cloth is woven by Kuba men and embroidered by Kuba women. Its rich colors of golden tan and yellow contrasting with velvety black give the cloth a striking optical quality. Dense embroidery creates a textured surface with the raised, contrasting lines and shapes so characteristic of authentic Kuba textiles.
