    Description

    Vtg African Mud Cloth Textile 36” X 54”
    Handwoven cotton Korhogo cloth depicting several figures - animals and fish. Korhogo cloths are woven of cotton in narrow strips, stitched together, and painted with naturally pigmented mud. The cloths are used by the Senufo to shield against vengeful spirits by wearing or hanging them in the home. Many are decorated with symbols of humans, natural elements like the sun, moon and stars and animals, all of which are rooted in Senufo culture and mythology.
