Wrapper
(Blanket): Baule, Ivory Coast
The Baule village (Duassau) is famous for the pottery made there. It has only one weaver, Djeng N'gorau, who weaves a 3 1/2 inch-wide decorated cotton strip with geometric designs. The pictured blanket is made of commercially spun and dyed cotton. Blankets like this one would be ordered from the weaver by a noble, worn by him for his official duties, funeral ceremonies and at dances. |
