There, it was crafted from units of rectangular cloths known as \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003embala\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, and woven with fibers harvested from the leaves of the raffia palm. The cloths were then dyed, cut into abstract shapes, layered, and stitched together using both appliqué and reverse-appliqué techniques. Six of these layered cloths were joined together to form the final garment that inspired this scarf.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e100% Merino wool\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e76'' x 28''\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSelf-fringe edges\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDry clean\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImported\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48001206354134,"sku":"80060248","price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0510\/6391\/4679\/files\/kuba-pattern-merino-wool-oblong-scarf.jpg?v=1774643884","url":"https:\/\/store.mintmuseum.org\/products\/ceremonial-kuba-wool-scarf","provider":"Mint Museum Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
