🌿 What makes it special?
This wall art is crafted from barkcloth, a traditional textile made from the inner bark of certain trees like the mulberry or fig. The process involves several meticulous steps:
___ Harvesting: The inner bark is carefully stripped from the tree, ensuring sustainable harvesting without harming the plant.
___ Soaking: The bark strips are soaked in water to soften the fibers.
___ Beating: The softened fibers are pounded with wooden mallets, aligning them to form a cohesive sheet.
___ Drying & Embellishment: Once dried, the barkcloth can be painted, dyed, or sewn into various designs like the one depicted here.
This traditional method results in a strong, flexible, and eco-friendly textile with a distinct texture and durability, making it ideal for various artistic expressions.
💡 About the Design & Origin:
This piece showcases a beautifully stitched design, featuring huts, boats, and a lush palm tree—symbolic motifs often seen in Africa, the Pacific Island, and Central America. This piece is most likely from Musawas in northern Nicaragua as similar barkcloth items have been traditionally made in this region.
🔎 Condition & Size:
___ Condition: This tapestry is in very good vintage condition, with no visible stains or tears. The fabric loops at the top make it easy to hang with a dowel or decorative rod.
___ Size: Approximately 21 ¾ inches high and 14 inches wide (55 cm x 35.5 cm)—perfect for filling that small wall space with a statement piece that’s sure to capture attention!
🪴 Versatile Uses:
Not only is this piece a beautiful wall hanging, but it can also be used as a small curtain, table runner, or cultural display item. The fabric loops suggest it was made for easy hanging, while the sturdy yet lightweight barkcloth material makes it easy to move and display.
