Description
Handwoven from 100% organic cotton, this set of 4 placemats features a black-and-natural check pattern with a subtle texture. Woven on traditional looms in Kenya, the fabric is both durable and eye-catching—easy to use every day and easy to "dress up" for special occasions.
Museum Story
The National Museum of African Art began as a private educational institution in 1964 to promote cross-cultural understanding in the social sciences and arts. Founded by Warren M. Robbins, it was known as the Museum of African Art and located on Capitol Hill in a townhouse that had been the home of Frederick Douglass, the African American abolitionist and statesman. In 1979 the museum became part of the Smithsonian Institution, the world's largest museum and research complex dedicated to the increase and diffusion of knowledge.
