Ottoman - mudcloth design A

Origin: Mali

The ottoman's distinctive and intricate design is made from hand woven and hand-dyed mudcloth. The cloth is made from a centuries' old process using numerous applications of various plant juices/teas and mud to dye hand woven cotton cloth.

Bogolanfini (Bo-ho-lahn-FEE-nee), which translates as 'mud cloth' is a long established tradition among the Bamana, a Mande speaking people who inhabit a large area to the east and north of Bamako in Mali. The origin of this cloth is believed to lie in the Beledougou region of central Mali.
