Mud cloth, Mali - 17.3 Home The classic rounded shape (20cmBogolanfini mud cloth is a traditional handmade textile from Mali. In the Bamana language, bogo means earth or mud, lan means by means of, and fini means cloth.

It is washed, sun dried and soaked in a dye made from pounded local leaves. The designs are drawn by hand with a mud dye using a small bamboo or metal spatula,
