$61.25The Story
- The crisp and elegant geometric patterns describing these tubular vases take their inspiration from woven and appliquéd raffia cloths made by the Kuba people of the Democratic Republic of Congo.
- To make the cloths: the Kuba men gather the leaves of the raffia palm and work them until they separate into individual fibers soft enough to weave into square cloths.
- The women then appliqué the larger cloth with cut and sewn pieces of the finished palm fiber cloths.
- The tumbling and seemingly random design created by the appliquéd pieces represent the rhythms and stories of the Kuba people's lives and environment.
