Handwoven Indigo African Textile with White Resist Stitching – Vintage West African Strip Cloth Wall Hanging
$110.00 USD
This handwoven indigo African textile features a rhythmic arrangement of white resist-dyed motifs and stitched linear elements created through traditional West African textile techniques. Woven on narrow looms and assembled by hand, the cloth displays alternating vertical bands of dotted symbols and elongated stitch patterns that create a balanced, textural composition across the surface.
Measuring 61 x 43.5 inches, this piece reflects the visual language commonly found in Baule and Senoufo textiles from Ivory Coast. The contrast between deep indigo dye and soft white resist markings highlights the craftsmanship and time-honored methods used in its creation. Subtle variations in tone and spacing add depth and authenticity, making the textile visually engaging without feeling overly busy.
Historically used as clothing or functional household fabric, textiles like this are now valued as decorative art pieces that bring cultural history, handmade character, and organic texture into modern interiors.
