Shoulder cloth (slendang) c. 20th century

This 20th century *slendang* (shoulder cloth) from the Minneapolis Institute of Art features an intricate design of paisleys, dots, and floral motifs on a dark red background. The central panel showcases a more densely patterned, darker red fabric with repeating circular and floral patterns, set against a rich maroon. This textile embodies the traditional craftsmanship and artistic sensibilities of South Asian textile traditions.
