Features

• Authentically Ugandan: The material is a sustainable barkcloth sourced directly from Uganda's Mutuba tree (Ficus natalensis). The art can be framed to decorate your home.
• Intricate Handcrafted Process: This is not a painting on paper; it's a textile. The fiber is produced through a strenuous process of beating the tree bark for hours with wooden mallets, which is one of the world's oldest forms of savoir-faire.
• Protective & Eco-Friendly Material: The cloth is a papery fiber historically used for wrapping and is naturally weather-resistant.
