Answered by GPT-5 mini AI
Textiles made by the Kongo people were primarily woven from raffia palm fibers in narrow strips that were stitched together, often dyed (especially with indigo) and embellished with embroidery or tufting to form bold geometric patterns. These richly decorated raffia cloths served as clothing and ceremonial regalia and functioned as markers of social status and exchange.
