The Works of Haja Amina Appi
Colorful Weaved Mats

Her colorful mats show her precise sense of design, proportion and
symmetry and sensitivity to color with their complex geometric patterns. A
plain white outer mat that acts as the backing of the mat covers her special
multi-colored mats. It takes up to three months to create her practical and
creative creations.
Award of Haja Amina Appi

In 2004 she was awarded the National Living Treasure. She played with
her work, and she created her own tints to produce the shades she had in
mind. Appi died in 2013, but her art continues through her children and
other young women in her community.
