Among the most fascinating of African arts are Kuba textiles, made by the BaKuba (\"Kuba\") people of Zaire in Central Africa. Their work which dates back over many centuries has a striking resonance to modern works of art with its geometric and rectilinear pattern configuration. Artists such as Matisse and Picasso were profoundly influenced by Kuba design. It is extremely difficult to tell the age of these antiquities. The Kuba people take good care of their textiles by storing them in trunks over many years. The stunning artistry of Kuba textiles is a breathtaking phenomenon to cherish and behold.
The Kuba Tcaka Dancing Skirt is an elaborately woven raffia cloth panel measuring 92\" x 23\". Each panel is a one-of-kind creation representing hundreds of hours of work. The most familiar Kuba textile pattern is dark brown or black appliqués on an ecru background. This extraordinarily stunning panel comes with a 33\" natural mount for an exquisite museum-quality display. Purchasedin the mid-1990s from Africa Direct, specialists in African art. This magnificent collectible is a special treasure and rare find!
