This 20th century textile is a shawl that was part of a wedding outfit. The piece is made of white fabric with a subtle woven pattern, and has a fringed border. The shawl is a testament to the skill and artistry of anonymous weavers who created beautiful and intricate textile objects for special occasions. It showcases the importance of textiles in traditional dress and the lasting cultural significance of wedding celebrations. The shawl is currently housed in the Minneapolis Institute of Art.
