Catalogue of an exhibition that visited four German museums during 1989-90. , Closely detailed photographs of the woven, wicker, raffia "mats" of the Mbole of northeastern Zaire comprise the bulk of this publication, the first ever to deal solely with this material. Published to accompany an exhibition of the mats (the first ever?) that visited four museums, this catalogue contains a brief text, in German, that deals with the weaving techniques and the designs of these raffia objects and the excellent full-page photographs that reveal the smallest details of the mats.
