This superb textile from the Mossi people of Burkina Faso . Made from hand spun cotton dyed yarns woven into narrow strips and meticulously joined together, each cloth served as a traditional wrapper for Mossi women and with simple minimalist embroideries in yellow and green.
The fabric exhibits the refined patina of age, with colors that have developed a sophisticated depth over time, while maintaining its characteristic softness and structural integrity.
Measuring 58" by 42", this singular piece offers versatility as a throw, wall hanging, or creative textile project.
