This unique Mapula cloth was made handmade by Margaret Raphin from the Winterveld, South Africa.

The Mapula Embroidery Project in the Winterveld is one of the most important community art projects in South Africa. In addition to generating an income for economically disadvantaged women, Mapula embroideries couple high levels of technical and visual artistry with topics that speak eloquently of public histories as well as women's personal experiences.

This item comes with a hardcover book that explains the Mapula project.
