Cotton cushion cover with village embroidery motifs, made by Penduka women in the countryside of Namibia. Through embroidery, they tell their story and process their experiences and problems. Once a week, the women come together to evaluate each other's products, hand them in, and fetch new fabric and thread. Embroidery can be done everywhere; while you wait at the well while talking with your neighbor or even in the waiting room at the hospital. Village embroidery motifs vary depending on what story the individual Penduka embroiderer has to tell (village scenes, fetching water, Katutura street scenes....).  size 40x40cm weight 110 grams in lovely natural Namibian colors
