Cushion cover
Bark cloth comes from the fibres of a tree’s inner bark. In Uganda the Mutaba tree is preferred as it produces a favourable deep red colour. This patched cushion cover is made using barkcloth and is the creation of Ugandan-artist Sarah Nakisanze. This item incorporates her own kakeeka design.
