This textile, with its rich burgundy background and vibrant blocks of yellow, green, and orange, is a striking example of West African weaving techniques. Likely also from Côte d'Ivoire or a neighboring region, this piece showcases a bolder, geometric pattern compared to traditional indigo textiles. The bold colors and checkerboard-like design suggest a focus on visual impact and symbolism, as colors often hold cultural significance in African textiles.
