This Vintage Kuba Kasai Velvet Boutallah Raffia Textile from Zaire, Africa features a stunning geometric design and is handcrafted from the fibrous palm Raphia Vinifera. The intricate process of creating this fabric involves the expertise of men, women, and children from the same family, who must soak, beat, and manually work and scrape each piece to achieve its delicate, silk-like texture. Measuring approximately 24" by 24", this textile is a true masterpiece and a testament to the exceptional craftsmanship of the Kuba (or Bakuba) people.
This piece can be displayed as it is, framed, or utilized as a decorative element on a table or sofa, including being transformed into a pillow.
