THE KUBA TRIBES WOULD USE THESE IN THEIR IMPORTANT CEREMONIES. IT WOULD BE PASSED DOWN FROM GENERATION TO GENERATION. IT IS PROBABLY 80 OR 90 YEARS OLD AND HAS BEEN REPAIRED OVER THE YEARS MANY TIMES. EACH REPAIR LOOKS FROM A DIFFERENT ERA. IT HAS TO SAID THAT IT IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION, BUT DOES HAVE THE SORT OF WEAR THAT YOU WOULD EXPECT. I AM TOLD BY THE EXPERTS THAT A GOOD OLD KUBA CLOTH SHOULD BE SOFT, AND SUPPLE, THIS CAN ONLY BE ACHIEVED THROUGH MANY YEARS OF USE. THIS ONE IS VERY SOFT AND HAS A WONDERFUL TEXTURE. OUT OF ALL THE CLOTHS I HAVE SEEN, THIS ONE REALLY STANDS OUT, IT HAS LITTLE BALLS ALL THE WAY DOWN THE SIDE AND IN SO WELL MADE. I HAVE SEEN THESE FRAMED ON THE WALLS IN HOLLYWOOD HOUSES AND THEY LOOK STUNNING. IT IS VERY LONG AS IT WAS USED TO RAP AROUND THE KINGS WHOLE BODY, ABOUT 5 OR 6 METRES. THIS IS A VERY UNIQUE AND BEATIFUL PIECE. Place a Bid!
