This is a traditional fabric handed down in the Kuba Kingdom, which once flourished in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, located in central Africa. The "Kuba cloth" made by the Showa and Bushongu people is unique and highly artistic, and is a very popular craft item that is framed as a high-class work of art, or used as luxurious interior cloth, tapestry, or rug. This is Kuba cloth made by the Showa people, also known as grass velvet, and is made by combining two types of embroidery techniques on plain woven raffia fabric. The pattern, which is regular yet has a hint of freedom, is full of charm that never ceases to attract people. This product is a one-of-a-kind item.
