ABOUT Authentic MUD CLOTH: The vibrant and beautiful designs are created by painting with fermented mud or sludge. The cloth is first dyed using tea leaves, bark and branches, then dried in the sun. The beautiful Patterns each have cultural, historic and geographic significance. Many referring to historical battles, mythological concepts or Malian proverbs. They are painted onto the cloth with mud and then washed. The process is repeated to create different patterns and hues.
