content: From donor: Kuba or Lele bark cloth and palm fiber. Collected ca.1965 in Kinshasa. Interior of precisely cut and stitched triangles horizontally aligned alternating black with natural light color forming striking pattern and composition, suggesting animal hide. Old embroidered borders on three sides, all apparently used on previous wrapper--one on proper right not full length; two on left, the shorter with classic chameleon foot pattern. Much used and age evident.
