Panel 1900 - 1910

This anonymous panel, dating from 1900-1910, features a vibrant ikat pattern in shades of red, yellow, blue, and purple. The intricate design, composed of repeating teardrop and diamond shapes, is characteristic of the ikat weaving technique, where the yarn is dyed before being woven. The use of bold colors and geometric motifs gives the panel a rich and dynamic visual appeal, reflecting the artistic traditions of the time and place of its creation. Currently housed at the Minneapolis Institute of Art, this panel provides insight into the aesthetic and craftsmanship of textiles from the early 20th century.
