Kuba The most striking feature of this Kuba is its extra wide, white-ground
main border with a sweeping, baroque-style wavy vine. Small, geometrically
drawn palmettes linked by vertical lines of tiny diamonds form a repeat in
the cobalt blue field, a style seen in sumakh flatweaves from the same
region. – Somewhat reduced ends, slight signs of wear in the pile.
