Swahili Textile Inspired Repeating Pattern

About this artwork

This artwork uses repeating geometry, motifs and decorative rhythm inspired by Swahili Textile Inspired Repeating Pattern. It is presented as a contemporary educational design rather than an exact reproduction of a specific historic object, and it is intended for colouring and pattern exploration.

Interesting facts

East African textiles reflect centuries of Indian Ocean exchange; garments such as kanga combine printed borders, central motifs and, often, written sayings.
