Description: Authentic African Mud cloth, Handwoven African Textiles, 68 x 42 inches Mud cloth - also called 'Bogolan' - is one of Africa's most unusual and unique textiles. Traditionally, Bambara (Bamanan) women, as well as those of the Minianka, Senufo, Dogon, and other ethnic groups, produced the cloth for important life events and taught the process to their daughters. Men, especially hunters, wore it for hunts and celebrations. Today, both women and men make mud cloth for sale in markets, and Malian students study it at the art academy. Narrow strips of handwoven cotton are stitched together into a whole cloth, then painted with patterns and symbols using a variety of natural dyes, including river mud that has been aged up to one year. As these clothes are handwoven, the thickness and weight are variable, but generally, they are similar to a light blanket. Origin: MaliMaterial:100% Cotton Dimensions: Length; 68 in. x Width; 42 in.
