Bogolanfini, African Textiles, Black and White Hand Woven Mud Cloth, Approx. 6 x 4 Feet, Textile Treasury

Hand Woven Black and White African Textile. Hand Woven Mud Cloth. Textile Treasury

Bogolanfini (also known as mud cloth) is a handmade cotton fabric from Mali, made up of narrow strips that are stitched together into a whole cloth, then dyed using a process of iron-rich mud (aged up to a year) and natural dyes/bleaches.
In traditional Malian culture, bogolanfini is worn as camouflage by hunters or by menstruating women (or anyone who may be experiencing a loss of blood). It is believed that the evil spirits will be disoriented by the patterns and the tight weave of the cloth and therefore protect the person wearing the cloth.

Ideal for different projects and crafts.
