1 in stock

Description

We love the minimal flecks of colour from tiny float weave motifs against the white hand spun cotton background of this early C20th woman’s cloth from the Bondoukou region of north eastern Ivory Coast. Especially the small white motifs against the white ground. Blue weft stripes across the strip at irregular intervals are muted almost to shadows by the white warp. Simple blue and white warp striped pieces are inserted to break up the field of the cloth. There a few neat old patched repairs in this subtle and unusual cloth but overall condition is very good. , Dates from circa 1920s.
Measurements 70 1/2 inches x 36, 180 cm x 91.
