One of Alan Donovan's superb textiles, Kuba cloth from the Congo.
beautiful colours and design! the part on both sides reminds me a lot of Haussa patterns. I love these types of colours, they are wonderful.
Eva send some Haussa patterns so I can see them.
Superb!
Liuba, you have some great Shoowa raffia kuba cloth for sale, also Pygmy barkcloth, which I drool over.
Send pictures of your personal collection please.
I love and collect the kuba cloth as well. Alan Donovan (African Heritage House, Nairobi picture above) has some spectacular textiles from West Africa and Congo.
