'tribal print'?

I don't know why they call the prints normally found on african traditional garments 'tribal' prints always wondered..sounds kind of uncivilized if you ask me ... what is tribal about them lol.

but anyways heres what some of you may refer to as 'tribal print' to me it's just traditional dress..[well top]

Made in Ghana [My mums top] *shrugs*

It is so beautiful, the people who make these prints are so creative!
