Unique Pair of Handmade Kuba Cloth Cushions

These unique oversized cushions have been made from authentic Kuba cloth, a hand-woven textile made from raffia palm by the Kuba people of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Traditionally the large raffia patches are woven by the men and then hand-appliquéd onto the cloth by the women, creating bold, geometric designs. Each Kuba cloth is made by hand and is an entirely unique work of art. The fabrics have lived a life and the wear and markings only add to their character. The cushion covers have been made with a envelope closure pillow cover and sturdy brown linen back. Sold as a pair H x 42 cm W x 68 cm D x 20 cm £550 Pair
