BOGOLANFINI MUDCLOTH 2

62 x 43 inches Mud Cloth, also known as Bogolanfini, is hand-spun, handwoven, and dyed using fermented mud, a technique passed down through generations in the Bamana region of Mali. It is traditionally worn by hunters for ritual protection and serves as a status symbol in Malian culture. Modern versions may be dyed with a solution made from tree leaves and bark, and designs can be painted on top, sometimes using stencils. The fabric often features intricate geometric designs in colors like brown, mustard, black, and white.
