Vintage West African Batik - 1'11 x 1'10

A lively West African batik textile signed Assane 292, depicting a village or market gathering beneath a palm tree. Figures are shown seated and standing with baskets, bowls, and vessels, rendered in a bold palette of indigo, turquoise, cream, and deep blue-black. The composition captures the rhythm of everyday life through simplified forms, strong silhouettes, and expressive wax-resist drawing. Decorative patterning on the clothing and baskets adds texture and movement, while the soft bleeding of the dyes gives the textile a painterly quality. A charming and graphic example of modern West African batik, well suited for display as textile art. Size: 1'11" x 1'10" Age: Late 20th Century Origin: West Africa Type of Textile: Batik Material: Cotton Condition: Very good, some fraying of the unfinished edges TX738
