Descripción
The Kuba Textiles are unique to the Democratic Republic of Congo (formerly Zaire), for its elaboration and complexity of design and surface decoration. Most fabrics are a composition in rectangular or square pieces. The fabric of the canvas is a man’s job, while the overlying embroidery is the work of women. The needle embroidery traces the drawing while the strands of raffia, cut flush, fill in the blanks to create a velvet effect.
