How valuable is a Kuba Cloth? They are not too expensive. I have seen them priced up to $300 depending upon the condition and the design. That's our value or a value according to an American standards.
But consider its Congo value. A good Kuba Cloth could be worth school tuitions for a family of six children. That's the value of a year of education at a primary or secondary bush school. It does not take must to send a child to school for a year. But if you are poor, it could be like a million dollar debt. It is out of the reach of many people in rural Congo.
Now, the valuable of the Kuba Cloth takes on a perspective.
