Decorative Throw Blankets: Our Mud Cloth throw is a remarkable interpretation and celebration of the craft handed down through generations by the Bamana people of Mali. Know by the Malians as "bogolanfini", traditional mud cloth is made by hand weaving and hand dying the woven cloth using numerous applications of various plant juices, teas and mud. The making of mud cloth is an essential component marking major life transitions and is truly a living art form. Each piece of mud cloth, each pattern and color combination tells a story. The symbols, arrangements and color as well as the shape of the mud cloth reveal secrets. It is also used to define a person's social status, character or occupation! A gorgeous piece of textural art that speaks to all of us. |
