    Description of the Garment’s Meaning and Craftsmanship:

    A superb shirt in amazing condition, made by the Hausa people using a unique cotton cloth crafted from several strips. The shirt is embellished with beautiful embroidered designs typical to the Hausa, Nupe, and Yoruba cultures.

    Boubou Overview:

    The boubou is an African garment worn widely across West Africa and parts of Central Africa. It typically consists of:
    – **A long-sleeved shirt**
    – **Tie-up trousers** that narrow at the ankles
    – **An open-stitched wide-sleeveless gown** worn over these two pieces

    All three components are usually in matching colors.

    For men, this ensemble is completed with a “chechia” or hat, while women’s boubous include:
    – **A wrapper around the waist**
    – **A large overflowing gown**
    – An intricate headscarf instead of a hat

    The Historical Context of Boubous:

    The tradition dates back to the 8th Century with origins linked to Islamic peoples such as Tukulor from senegal and Mandé from Ghana empires. Historically associated with nobility in West Africa, different embroidery patterns carry specific meanings across various ethnic groups.

    Caring for Antique Textiles:

    It is advised not to launder these textiles as even dry cleaning can be too harsh for some antique pieces. Gentle hand washing may be acceptable but should be approached cautiously due to potential dye bleeding and fabric fragility.
