2024 Mud cloth - also called 'bogolan' - is one of Africa's most unusual and unique textiles. 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 with many hand made pieces, this item has some signs of imperfections. Please be aware that these African pieces are not perfect. This is what makes the unique beauty of these unique collectible textiles.
Please view photos carefully for the distressed areas. These imperfections are not considered flaws but valuable characteristics making each hand made cloth unique. The imperfections of the weave, dye, stitch, and painted design are a natural characteristic, and serve to enhance the individual uniqueness and charm of each handmade tribal textile.
