Mud cloth sometimes called mud-dyed cloth or mud-painted cloth is a handmade cotton fabric organically crafted in Mali located in West Africa. Malians traditionally dyed their fabric  with fermented mud. 

 

When translated into Bambara, Mali’s native language, mudcloth becomes “Bogolanfini”. The term bogolanfini stems from three Bambara words: bogo, lan, and fini. Bogo translates to “earth” or “mud”, lan translates to “with”, and fini translates to “cloth”.
