Large Mudcloth Ottoman
The Mudcloth comes from the Dogon people in Mali. Shades of black and cream, brown and mustard can be found at times. The traditional method of making these fabrics is a long process of staining the cloth by burying it in mud, mixed with roots to give it different colours. Can be ordered with "Victorian" (shown in picture) or "Contemporary" legs.
