Tassel band 1930 - 1940

This "Tassel Band" from the Minneapolis Institute of Art is a textile piece from the 1930s-1940s, made by an unknown artist. The band is a woven textile with geometric patterns and a row of tassels along the bottom. The band exhibits a combination of woven and beaded techniques, suggesting it is a traditional piece of folk art. The red and white grid pattern gives the band an intricate, almost grid-like appearance, creating visual interest in the otherwise simple piece.
