Exquisite example of traditional Korhogo Cloth.Depicts 8 Hunters wearing traditional dressThe fabric is a rough hand spun hand woven cotton. 48.5" x 30"
This is a traditional piece crafted by the Senufo people, not produced for tourists
Its small size and hand drawn figures (not stenciled) is indicative of its age.It is created from strips of fabric.
This was purchased at an estate auction in Northern Florida. It is part of an extensive textile co...llection that belonged to a diplomat who lived in Japan for many years in the 1950s and then the Ivory Coast in the 1960s. The quantity and quality of fabrics and accessories is one not often seen.I am by no means an expert in fabric. I have done my best to describe and identify the items. I have reached out to people with more knowledge than me when possible. That being said please do not replace my identification with your own research and knowledge. I stand by any description but do not want my customers to be disappointed if I have made a layman’s mistake. All that being said I will pay for return shipping if I have made an error so buy with confidence.
