This skirt, created by an anonymous artist, is a striking example of traditional textiles from the region. The white fabric, which features delicate embroidery in hues of pink, blue, and green, showcases a vibrant combination of minimalist and ornate designs. The densely patterned bottom border contrasts with the sparse, repeated motifs throughout the skirt, creating a visually captivating balance between simplicity and complexity. This piece, now located in the Minneapolis Institute of Art, is a testament to the enduring artistry and cultural significance of handcrafted textiles.
