This head shawl, created around 1920 by an anonymous artist, is an example of traditional textile art. The shawl is composed of two distinct panels of silk fabric, one in a vibrant yellow and the other in a rich reddish-pink with horizontal stripes, showcasing the artist's skill in weaving and color combination. The shawl's dimensions (66 x 26 1/2 inches) suggest it was likely intended for ceremonial or decorative use. The piece is currently housed in the Minneapolis Institute of Art, offering visitors a glimpse into the artistry and craftsmanship of an earlier era.
