Original Kuba Shoowa raffia textile from the Congo, handwoven and traditionally embroidered.

The distinctive geometric patterns make each piece a one-of-a-kind item.

Perfect as a wall hanging or framed wall art, it pairs especially well with mid-century, Brutalist, Wabi-Sabi, or minimalist interiors.
