Named after Mud Cloth from Mali:
Originated by African women of Mali’s Bamana culture centuries ago, hand-woven and hand-dyed mud cloth or mud cloth or bogolan uses a centuries-old process using numerous application of various plant juices/teas and mud to hand woven cotton cloth.
No two pieces are alike and each pattern and colour combination has a meaning, the production of mud cloth is primarily in West Africa.
Traditionally, Bamana women make mud cloth during the dry season which last from October to May. During this season more time can be spent on non-agricultural activities like pottery and mud cloth.
MUD CLOTH COLOUR:
Each colour in mud cloth sheet has its own meaning. The most traditional colouring has been the black background with white designs. This is typically used for story telling or the portrayal of a proverb.
Another colour popular among hunters, and the Funlani people is the rust. This colour is preferred as it does not show dirt and also as it is supposed to represent the strong supernatural powers that protect the hunter. The rust colour signifies blood either fron the hunt, or from warfare. Because mud cloth is made from the soils, it has been useful to both groups as form of camouflage.
