Origin
Mud cloth, also known as "Bògòlanfini," is a captivating textile art form originating from Mali in West Africa. Woven cotton fabric is soaked in a solution of boiled, mashed leaves from the local n'gallama tree, which contains tannins that act as a natural dye fixative. Intricate patterns are then hand-painted onto the cloth using fermented mud or clay, resulting in a striking contrast between the dark mud-dyed areas and the original creamy fabric. The entire process reflects the cultural significance of storytelling, history, and artistic expression within the communities of its origin
