imigongo

thumb|Imigongo art on display at the International Geography Festival in Saint-Dié-des-Vosges, France Imigongo () is an art form popular in Rwanda traditionally made by women using cow dung. Often in the colors black, white and red, popular themes include spiral and geometric designs that are painted on walls, pottery, and canvas.

The images are produced using a mixture of cow dung and ash, which kills bacteria and removes odour, that gets molded on a flat surface in geometric patterns. It is left to harden and then gets decorated using colors made from organic material. The traditional colours are black, white, red, grey and beige-yellow but some contemporary artworks use other available colors.
