Pulkari c. 19th century

The "Pulkari" is a 19th-century textile woven by an anonymous artist. The vibrant piece, currently housed at the Minneapolis Institute of Art, showcases intricate geometric patterns in shades of orange, yellow, and red. The textile is composed of a grid of squares, each filled with a unique design that appears to be stitched. The "Pulkari" is a testament to the skill and artistry of Indian textile traditions and offers a glimpse into the cultural significance of geometric patterns in art.
