The warm harmonies of color tones turn these fabrics into abstract works of art. These richly decorated cloths took a considerable amount of time to create, as they were hand-woven, & dyed. Due to the fact that they were labor-intensive to create, they are highly prized by collectors. The development of new patterns was a prominent feature of Kuba kingship. Every king was expected to invent a new cloth pattern at the beginning of his reign. Natural pigments were used to create the dyes for coloring.
They make for great decorative wall-hangings both horizontal or vertical, table runners, and even pillow covers (the stitched seams can be carefully undone to create multiple cloths).
