Description: Beautiful vintage handwoven cotton and dyed African indigo fabric, made by the Dogon in Mali. Textiles are dyed with the stitch resist dying techniques and each piece is unique, five strips sewn together. This piece has a wonderful stitch dyed linear “ladder” or "butterfly” pattern running down the length, and it's super soft. Medium weight; lighter, faded blue color (but no “grey” shade to it); 42" x 59”; 5 strips sewn together. Very good condition: one end unfinished with natural fring, the other end had tied fringe but most of it has come untied. There are a few slots where the seams have come apart and one rip on the side - check out the photos. Nothing major or that can't be repaired. I was lucky to have “first choice” of several large containers of indigos as they arrived directly from Africa, and I picked ones that were in the best condition, and/or those with the most unique designs. *Posting on behalf of my mother in law, who is an African art collector.
