Each color has a specific meaning, as do the designs and their arrangement. The mudcloth fabrics celebrate a social event, the qualities of a hero, such as his courage, or tell a proverb. The end result is always of great aesthetic value, thus making these special materials and products of refined craftsmanship, as well as true works of art.
