Panel c. 20th century

This 20th century panel, created by the Kuba people, exemplifies the intricate geometric designs characteristic of their artistic traditions. Made of woven raffia cloth, the panel showcases a complex and elaborate pattern of interlocking shapes and lines, applied with meticulous detail. The use of black and white highlights the contrast and depth of the design, creating a striking visual experience. This piece, now housed in the Minneapolis Institute of Art, is a testament to the Kuba people's mastery of textile art and their rich cultural heritage.
