African Artistry – The Art of the Ndebele – Gift Wrap with 12 gift tags –

– 4 patterns, 12 sheets open to 19×30′

“For generations the women of South Africa’s Ndebele tribes have produced bold art of remarkable beauty and spirit. At once the expression of ancient tradition and modern abstraction, the art of the Ndebele – murals that cover the exterior walls of their mudd homes an ceremonial beadwork – has endured through centuries of political upheaval, migration, and servitude to the area’s white farmers.
This bold and vital art is passed on from mother to daughter, and from generation tot generation; when the relentless rainy season arrives each year, these works are washed away. This bold giftwrap (complete with matching gift tags) celebrates the joyful  spirit and art of the Ndebele, creating an unusual and very special way to adorn gifts for family and friends and a tribute to this remarkable culture.”
