Description: | West Africa Congo One of 4 mats, noted in the 1989-1990 Annual Report as 'Four Bride-Price Mats' from the Congo. They were collected by Professor Frank Willett, an authority on West African culture, particularly that of Nigeria. This mat shows a repeating geometric pattern of black and red stripes, the upper and lower stripes being intersected by a plain zig-zag pattern. There is also a border or 'hem' in red and black pigment. | License: | http://www.hmag.gla.ac.uk/spirit/rights/ | Publisher: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Rights holder: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Subjects: | WEDDING : WEAVING : DOWRY : BEYOND_BASKET : SHANM : | Source: | Hunterian Museum | Creator: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Identifier: | http://www.huntsearch.gla.ac.uk/cgi-bin/... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
