Kuba textile (4)

The Kuba people of the Democratic Republic of the Congo are among the most design-conscious of all Africa’s native cultures. The surface of virtually every object made by the Kuba, and their sub-groups, is covered with an abundant variety of abstract designs: textiles, masks, sculptural figures, religious artifacts, and utilitarian articles.
