Made using the traditional Bogolan technique, this wall totem begins as hand-picked cotton fiber — spun, woven, then slowly painted with fermented mud and local herbs in a process passed down through generations in Mali. The result is a narrow vertical panel in raw cream with deep grey-green triangles repeated in a steady column, suspended from a slim wood dowel. The cloth carries a raw, slightly uneven edge — evidence of the hands that made it.
Because each totem is dyed and painted individually, the depth of the grey and the texture of the field will vary slightly from piece to piece. No two are identical.

A vertical piece that earns the wall it hangs on
It goes up in a spare corner, a narrow hallway, the wall beside a chair — and the room settles around it. The triangles are unhurried, each one slightly its own, and the raw edges hold the light the way only hand-made cloth can.
