Kesrowan c. 1950 - 1960

"Kesrowan" is a textile from the Minneapolis Institute of Art, dating back to the mid-20th century. The piece, created by an anonymous artist, displays a rich maroon base with intricately woven gold and green borders. The borders feature a geometric pattern of chevrons and stylized floral motifs, showcasing the craftsmanship of the unknown weaver. The work's vibrant hues and traditional design suggest its origins may lie in the Southeast Asian region, where such textiles were often used for ceremonial purposes.
