The name Kuba refers to the many small and large kingdoms of
several distinct ethnic groups living in present –day Western Kasai province
of the Democratic Republic of Congo. Kuba cloths are woven from thin strands
cut from raffia palm leaves – a skill still widely practiced in Africa
today. The men weave the simple cloths and the women embellish the cloths
with embroidered raffia borders and graphic geometric patterns. In producing
textiles, the Kuba surpass neighboring peoples in the variety of decorative
methods and the abundance of designs. Over two hundred names of designs have
been noted. One particular popular zig-zag design called, “Kwete’s design”
is named after the reigning king who delighted in the pattern left by the
imprint of the car tires in the mud. Copyright Museum of International Folk
