AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

A beautiful hand-woven Raffia cloth from Congo is (probably) a product of the Shoowa-Kuba Tribe.

The condition is good, with typical small discolorations due to age.

Dimensions :
length: 355 cm
width 55 cm

This decorative cloth would, thanks to its striking pattern and its dimensions, come into its own in, for example, the entrance of a large (staircase) house.
