This vintage African batik textile painting is a striking composition of symbolic motifs and vibrant colour, masterfully crafted using traditional wax-resist dyeing techniques. Dominated by rich hues of crimson red, black, and ochre gold on white ground, the textile features a central tribal mask flanked by an array of geometric and figurative elements, including birds, reptiles, abstract patterns, and spiritual symbols. The symmetrical layout is framed by a textured border of swirling patterns, adding rhythm and unity to the design. Each motif carries cultural significance, reflecting ancestral heritage, mythology, and community identity. Perfect as a wall hanging or statement decor piece, this batik textile embodies the expressive power of African folk art and traditional craftsmanship.

Authentic vintage and antique African textiles are hand-painted. Each one is an exceptional work of art and one of a kind.

Pictures are taken in natural light to portray the most realistic colours possible. Due to these paintings' handmade and preloved nature, slight imperfections and flaws are not defects.

It’s 1990 all over again!

In the early 1990’s, my wife I were obsessed with hand woven, vegetable dyed Turkish carpets from Azeri/Woven Legends. We spent so much time at ABC Carpet & Home in NYC, we became good friends with the head rug buyer!! We haven’t purchased a rug in years, but I found a wonderful Woven Legends carpet at Shopvintagerugs and bought myself an early birthday present. The rug was shipped from Pakistan on Monday, made its way to Dubai, then Boston, Memphis and finally arrived to us today. I couldn’t be happier!
