This antique African Fulani Dori textile is a striking handwoven piece made from pure wool and cotton, originating from West Africa. Characterised by its bold horizontal stripes, the textile features a rhythmic interplay of red, black, cream, and natural tones, accented with intricate geometric motifs and checkerboard patterns. Each narrow panel is skillfully joined to form a larger cloth, a hallmark of traditional Fulani weaving techniques. The combination of wool for warmth and cotton for breathability reflects both practical and aesthetic intentions, making this textile suitable for use as a blanket, wrapper, or ceremonial cloth. Its strong linear design and rich cultural heritage make it a valuable and visually compelling example of African nomadic textile art.

Authentic vintage and antique African textiles are handwoven with wool and cotton. Each one is an exceptional work of art and unique.
