A lamba is an untailored textile worn by all ages, classes, and genders across much of Madagascar. The lamba akotifahana takes its name from the weft-float motifs (akotifahana) that adorn it. Weavers added extra weft (horizontal) threads to make them. Representing the final production of lamba akotifahana during the Merina Kingdom before French colonization (1897), this example is densely covered with motifs.
A vibrant textile fragment displays intricate vertical stripes and geometric patterns in shades of pink, green, and blue.
