Mud Cloth cannot only be seen everywhere in Mali, it has gone global. It is a very valued cloth in the interior designing world. The cloth's distinctive brown-red color comes from iron-rich mud. Traditionally, Bambara (Bamanan) women, as well as those of the Minianka, Senufo, Dogon, and other ethnic groups, produced the cloth for important life events and taught the process to their daughters. Men, especially hunters, wore it for celebrations. Today, both women and men make mud cloth for sale in markets, and Malian students study it at the arts academy. Mud cloth is used today to make jackets, hats, vests, pillows, or as a decoration on the wall. Size: 82” x 52”
