This "Cape (Handira)" from the Minneapolis Institute of Art is a woven textile created by Oulad el Haj Amazigh (Berber) in the 1930s. The cape is a traditional garment, with a deep blue, triangular shape and colorful stripes, woven from wool and cotton. Its fringed edges are a common element in textiles from the region. The intricate design and craftsmanship of the cape demonstrate the artistry of Berber weavers in North Africa.
