Woman's overskirt (ncaka)

Cleveland Museum of Art

Long, rectangular piece of fabric with a light brown color and a repeating pattern. The fabric has a thin black border around the edges, with a slightly thicker red border visible at the edges. The main body of the fabric is divided into sections with various geometric patterns, including diamonds, lines, and abstract shapes. The patterns are mostly light brown, with one section featuring a dark blue diamond design. The fabric appears to be a traditional textile, possibly handmade, and is likely a woman's overskirt, specifically an ncaka.
