0.0 (0 reviews)

Product Description

A unique, handmade art piece of a map of Uganda on traditional barkcloth, also known as "backcloth." This eco-friendly souvenir is crafted from the inner bark of the sacred Mutuba tree using a 600-year-old technique. Perfect as a wall hanging or a distinctive gift. UNESCO has proclaimed Uganda's barkcloth making a Masterpiece of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity

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.
