This 20th-century *sarong*, woven by an artist from Tripura, features a striking pattern of alternating green and peach stripes. The design showcases the skillful hand-weaving techniques of the region, using natural dyes to create the vibrant colors. This rectangular piece of cloth, measuring 65 3/8 x 40 3/8 in., is a testament to the enduring tradition of textile artistry in Tripura, and can be found at the Minneapolis Institute of Art.
