Indigo has been used in many different cultures all around the world and in Africa there is a long tradition of making indigo dyed clothing and fabrics using a variety of different techniques. This textile comes from the Baulé people fromCte d'Ivoire (Ivory Coast)and it made ofhand-woven strips of cotton fabric that have been stitched together in order to make a bigger piece of fabric. The pattern is a so called ikat,where parts of the threads are covered before the dyeing, which gives a pattern that will appear later in the weaving process.
