Panel 19th-20th century

This 19th-20th century Kuba "Panel" features a repeating geometric pattern of brown lines forming diamonds and squares on a light brown background. The intricate design, typical of Kuba art, is likely made using raffia fibers and a dyeing technique. The Kuba people are known for their sophisticated textile arts, using these panels for ceremonial and decorative purposes. This panel, currently at the Minneapolis Institute of Art, exemplifies the rich cultural heritage of the Kuba people, showcasing their mastery of textile design and craftsmanship.
