Woman's wrapper c. 20th century

This "Woman's Wrapper" from the early 20th century is a stunning example of Tukulor textile art. Crafted with intricate purple woven patterns on a white background, it showcases the traditional skills of the Tukulor people. The repeating geometric designs, particularly the "wavy" lines, are characteristic of Tukulor weaving and add a sophisticated touch to this garment. The wrapper's substantial size and decorative fringe highlight its cultural significance. It's currently housed at the Minneapolis Institute of Art, offering a glimpse into the artistic heritage of the Tukulor.
