Beautiful Vintage Dahomey Applique Wall Hanging, 55" by 33". This is in great condition with bright colors and that is definitely a male tiger. These wall hangings tell a story about a king using special symbols. I do not know the exact age of this wall hanging. This is a particularly fine example of this type of African art. This is a beautifully appliqued wall hanging from Abomey in the Fon region of Benin in Africa. These tapestries are made by Fon men and boys who belong to a family guild that passes designs down each generation. The bright colored cloth motifs and patterns of animals and other symbols were cut of plain weave cotton and stitched onto the black background. Each textile depicts the story of a king, chief, or warrior and tells of their achievements in history. Originally, designated artisans executed these designs to specifications of their kings and they were hung as banners of battle or palace. Today Abomey is the political capital of Benin and is known for its beautiful palaces and decorated walls. Tapestries are considered to be important and tells the story of the glorious periods in the history of the Kingdom of Dahomey.
