Large African Block Print Wall Hanging

A large and decorative 20th Century West African block print wall hanging, circa 1950.

Block printing has existed since antiquity, as the first method of printing on textiles. 

This wall hanging depicts human figures and animals, as well as a figure in a mythological mask in the centre. Decorative border. 

Vivid, naive representations that speak to a centuries old craft. The ultimate statement of primitive design in an interior.
