White Mud Cloth Pillow

This pillow is made with an authentic mudcloth textile, or bogolanfini, hand-made by artisans in Mali, Africa. It is hand spun on a loom with natural, unprocessed cotton and then colored and designed with all natural dyes and fermented mud. In the Bambara language, spoken in Mali, the word bògòlanfini is a composition of three words. Bogo, meaning “earth” or “mud,” lan, meaning “with” and fini, meaning “cloth.” The word is translated as “mud cloth”. This complicated process dates back to the 12th century. This particular piece of mudcloth is white with black print. The back of the pillow is made with off white natural linen.

Due to the handmade nature of this textile, each pillow cover is truly unique and one of a kind. The pattern itself may be slightly different than the one shown.

The pillow shown is 18” x 18”
