Kuba Textiles and Design is an engaging introduction to one of the most unusual and fascinating of all African arts. The textiles of the Kuba people of the Democratic Republic of Congo are decorated not with human or animal figures, but with astonishing abstract designs. Although the Kuba have been producing these textiles for four hundred years, there is something strikingly modern about their aesthetic. A perfect entry point for casual readers and a gift to collectors hoping to learn more about the pieces they treasure.
