KUBA AFRICAN ART SHOOWA CLOTH #1979 - For African Art Gallery
KUBA SHOOWA TEXTILE#1979 Tribe: Kuba- Shoowa. Country: Democratic Republic of Congo. Material: Raffia Palm. Size: 27" 68.6 cm) x 18.5" 47 cm) Item: 1979 Condition: Good. Note: Ex. James E. Adkins Collection- Florida. USA. The basic material used in weaving panels of Kuba fabric is the fibre of the raffia palm(raphia vinifera) Which grows throughout the region. The outer layer of the young, plumelike leaves is split(frayed) and the fibres drawn. They may need to be twisted together and beaten to provide the threads used in the textiles. Weaving is the exclusive preserve of men, who work sitting at sloping looms. The finer the fibre, the stronger and tighter the woven fabric will be. The size of the woven panels is determined by the natural length of the raffia fibre; the individual fibres are not artificially lengthened. Hence. Panels ... moreusually measure between about 50 x 60 cm and a maximum of 100 x 100 cm. The cloths are soaked. Kneaded and beaten to make them soft and supple. The basic reddish tone of the velvet is obtained by dyeing the untreated fabric using a powder made from red wood. Yellow ochre background colours are more common, however. The cloths are embroidered by women. The technique of cut-pile embroidery consists of passing threads between the warp and weft threads with a needle. Without any visible stitches or knots. The threads are then cut to leave a pile of about 2mm on either side, with the velvet fibres are secured in the middle only by the tightness of the underlying weave. The Shoowa are real masters of this technique, which demands a great deal of skill. An enormous amount of work is involved in making a raffia cut-pile panel. It is a process that can take between several months and more than a year. So it is not surprising that cut-pile"velvet" cloths are treasured as objects of value. For embroidery incorporating more than one colour(a technique found almost exclusively among the Shoowa) The raffia fibres are coloured with plant dyes before embroidering. The roots of tr

LaRGe 26" X 72 " ANTIQUE WORN QUADRA KUBA PRESTIGE CLOTH !
KUBA VELVET GRASS CLOTH PRESTIGE CLOTH"In the past. Kuba cloths of cut pile were prestige items, rarely worn but used as signs of wealth during life and at death. To make one could take up to a year. The base fabric was woven by men from softened raffia(palm leaf fibers) and usually left its light tan color. Women then applied two decorative techniques, embroidery- that is further stitching onto the base material- and plush or cut pile. Marc Ginzberg African Forms. The true jewels of textile art are the small Shoowa cut-pile cloths. Their compex interplay of geometric symbols. Inventive rhythm and balance, uniquely individual designs and tight"velvet"surfaces created objects so mysteriously alluring the Kuba people traded them as currency and were the standard by which a family's wealth and status were judged. These raffia ... morecut-pile cloths, woven by men, were embroidered by women with no stitching visible on the back. Highly prized for their inventive patterns, they are further embellished with tight tufting, leading to the nickname"Kasai velvet" They were sewn together for ceremonial dress and covered royal stools. As a sign of status and to provide for the afterlife they were buried with kings or those fortunate enough to own many. These cloths are not fragile. They can be pinned to a wall. Framed, or even used as a fabric for clothing or upholstery.

Kuba Royal Textile Bark Cloth and Raffia Overskirt Ntshakishyeen African
Title, Kuba Royal Textile Bark Cloth and Raffia Overskirt Ntshakishyeen African, Type of Object, Royal overskirt, Country of Origin, DR Congo, People, Kuba, Materials, Bark cloth. Raffia palm fibers, dyes, Approximate Age, Early to mid 20th century, Dimensions, 56 x 26.5 inches, Overall Condition, Poor. Damage/Repair, Bad damage: tears. Seams, and holes; cloth has some loose threads and fraying. Several bark cloth triangles have disintegrated. Some seams are coming out. Dyes are fading. We do not recommend laundering textiles. And do not accept returns of textiles which have been laundered in any manner. Even dry cleaning is too much for some of these antique textiles. For some of them, a very gentle HAND washing(NEVER MACHINE, on any setting) in cool water with a very gentle detergent works, but even then, dyes may not be colorfast, and ... morefabric may be less strong than it appears. Additional Information: The following are excerpts from Kuba Textiles and Design. By Elizabeth S. Bennett and Niangi Batulukisi Ph.D. In sub-Saharan Africa. Where representative art has flourished for centuries, carvers and crafts people have typically taken for their subjects human figures, animals, plants, and elements of the natural world. Abstract art, meanwhile, has remained marginal. The textiles of the BaKuba(Kuba) people of the Democratic Republic of Congo are an exception. Although part of a tradition that stretches back 400 years, Kuba textiles have a strikingly modern look. They use improvised systems of signs, lines, colors, and textures, often in the form of complex geometric rectilinear patterns. Their appliqués are reminiscent of works by 19th- and 20th-century masters like Matisse, Picasso, Klee, Penck, and Chellida. This is no coincidence: all of those artists were inspired by Kuba design! Patchwork skirts made of beaten bark and raffia are among the most prestigious of the Kuba skirts and overskirts. The way these media are combined depends on the taste of the weaver. In some cases.

AFRICAN KUBA TEXTILE CLOTH RAFFIA from the Congo 144"x 22"
AFRICAN KUBA CLOTH RAFFIA from the Congo Size: 144 INCHES X 22 INCHES The Kuba cloth is made using the leaf of the raffia tree. The Kuba people of the Congo first hand cut, and then weave the strips of leaf to make pieces of fabric, often called raffia cloth. There are several different sub groups of the Kuba people. Each group has different and unique ways to make the fabric. Some make it thicker, longer, shorter, or with different patches. Each patch is symbolic and many times a piece has many different meanings. When Kuba cloth originated there were probably no patches used, but as the cloth is brittle it is quite likely that the patches were used to repair the frequent tears. Later each patch developed a meaning, many patterns are uniquely arranged to tell a story. 36

By the Kuba women in the Kuba Kingdom, which is in the Democratic Republic of Congo, formerly Zaire. This is a great piece of textile made by both men and women. Men did the weaving, women did the dying and embroidery. Raffia, which comes from the raffia palm tree, is notoriously difficult to work with.

Antique African Tribal Skirt - Kuba Cloth OverSkirt – Hand Woven – Zaire
The Kuba people of Zaire weave a wide variety of cloth made from rafia. A natural fiber from palm leaves. The material is stripped into very fine threads, soaked and pounded to make them flexible, and dyed in vegetal or mineral pigments to create a variety of colors. The Kuba employ a variety of weaving and decoration techniques. This overskirt uses both cut pile and false embroidery to achieve the desired geometric designs, This garment is called an overskirt. It is woven of natural rafia fiber. And is believed to date from before 1960. I bought it from a large collection of garments collected by a woman who lived and traveled through Africa 30 to 50 years ago. Dimensions are about 13 inches wide and 36 inches long. The designs in this center panel are cut pile accented with false embroidery. The border pieces. Which utilize only false embroidery ... morein different colors to create the design, were made from separate pieces. These were then attached by hand using rafia thread. Overall condition is Very Good. With a few loose seams as can be seen in the photos, as well as some light soil and staining from natural dyes. All of the outermost rafia cord is present and attached. There are no noticeable holes. This would make a fantastic display piece for the serious African Artifact Collector.

ANTIQUE ! WORN! LARGE ROYAL KUBA TLACA CLOTH 26: X 160 - TUFTED - FROG PATTERN
KUBA ROYAL GRASS SKIRT 26" x 160" FROG PATTERN"In the past. Kuba cloths of cut pile were prestige items, rarely worn but used as signs of wealth during life and at death. To make one could take up to a year. The base fabric was woven by men from softened raffia(palm leaf fibers) and usually left its light tan color. Women then applied two decorative techniques, embroidery- that is further stitching onto the base material- and plush or cut pile. Marc Ginzberg African Forms. Kuba skirts. Tcaka. Long are cloths made from raffia, from 8- 25 feet long, from the Ngeende. Bushoong and Ngongo peoples. They incorporate appliqued"patches" embroidered shapes and patterns, openwork, tie-dye, cowrie shells, barkcloth and border elements. The appliqued"patches" originally repaired holes, then developed into traditional ... moredesign motifs. Most are covered with geometric symbols; many are restrained, subtle and rhythmic designs using one technique; others create amazing quilt-like assemblages of old pieces of many forms. The full skirts, worn by men and women, are bunched up and wrapped around many times. A NOTE ABOUT THESE PHOTOGRAPHS: Being as long as they are. These skirts are extremely difficult to photograph. Although the color tends to be fairly uniform, they do appear lighter at the top than the bottom due to the location of the light source.What you see here are sections up to eight feet long taken from both ends. Any serious stains, holes or discolorations will be shown in the detail. These photographs were taken with the cloth lying loosely. It can be pinned flat for display. CARE: The cloth is not fragile and can be pinned onto a wall or panel for display. This auction features a one of a kind Kuba raffia textile; we have seen many on ebay but not one quite like this one; every Kuba raffia cloth is unique. This"appliquee" Kuba raffia cloth has a complex embroidered geometric design with great earthtone appeal. Its different black patterns contrast well with the beige background

9.99 GRASS SHOOWAH VELVET KUBA PRESTIGE CLOTH -21" x 22" SOFT used OLDER
KUBA ZAIRE PRESTIGE CLOTH"In the past. Kuba cloths of cut pile were prestige items, rarely worn but used as signs of wealth during life and at death. To make one could take up to a year. The base fabric was woven by men from softened raffia(palm leaf fibers) and usually left its light tan color. Women then applied two decorative techniques, embroidery- that is further stitching onto the base material- and plush or cut pile. Marc Ginzberg African Forms. The Boutalla are the more plush of the Kuba"square" textiles. And the designs are elaborate and exceptional. These textiles were used as currency, and as ceremonial offerings, in the Kuba Kingdom, which is in what is now the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and was formerly Zaire. Men did the weaving, women did the dying and embroidery. Raffia, which comes from the raffia palm ... moretree, is notoriously difficult to work with. Soaking and pounding were both used to soften the fibers. Each piece took months to make. The true jewels of textile art are the small Shoowa cut-pile cloths. Their compex interplay of geometric symbols. Inventive rhythm and balance, uniquely individual designs and tight"velvet"surfaces created objects so mysteriously alluring the Kuba people traded them as currency and were the standard by which a family's wealth and status were judged. These raffia cut-pile cloths, woven by men, were embroidered by women with no stitching visible on the back. Highly prized for their inventive patterns, they are further embellished with tight tufting, leading to the nickname"Kasai velvet" They were sewn together for ceremonial dress and covered royal stools. As a sign of status and to provide for the afterlife they were buried with kings or those fortunate enough to own many. 21" x 23" MEDIUM WEIGHT. HIGH/LOW PLUSH& STITCHING.

African Kuba cloth velvet bakuba raffia Africa v405
SquareTrade © AP6.0 New Handmade Authentic African Kuba Cloth Velvet or Embroidery approximate average 20 x 24 inches Kuba cloth is an amazing creation of the Kuba or Bakuba peoples of Africa. It is one of the very few fabrics which is still completely made by hand and of natural materials! The Kuba people love design and ornamentation. And decorate even everyday objects with fantastic patterns. Their cloth is perhaps their crowning achievement. Kuba cloth is a true labor of love. It is woven from raffia strands which are collected and prepared usually by men or boys. It is also the males who weave the fibers into a basic fabric called"mbal. Since the raffia fibers are not connected to lengthen them. The base cloth is never very large or long, though individual pieces, once woven, may be connected. Before the decorating, women dampen ... moreand beat the cloth repeatedly until it reaches the correct firmness or softness. If the mbal needs to be dyed. It is. Dyes come from Tukula wood, clay, iron dross, indigo, and other plants. Then women begin the patterns. They may applique shapes cut from other cloths to form larger patterns. They may be embroidered with dyed raffia threads. Sections may be combined to form a patchwork look. Or any of these methods may be combined with the others. These are all usually found on the longer pieces termed skirts. The smaller pieces termed velvets are created by a combination of embroidery and a cut pile technique. Some designs are stitched onto the cloth. But for fill. An artist will pull several strands through the base cloth with a needle, then cut them, creating a natural pile with a knife. The fibers are not tied, but simply held in place by the tightness of the weave of the base cloth. The back of the piece usually bears no signs of the embroidery. What may be the most amazing fact of all. Is that the artist never sketches her designs ahead of time! She works from images in her mind, many times patterns that have been passed down for generations. They also usually have nam
