Sarong c. 20th century

This 20th century *sarong*, a type of traditional garment from Southeast Asia, is a woven textile with a complex geometric pattern. Made by an anonymous artist, the piece features an intricate design of black, red, and white stripes and diamonds. The sarong's pattern also features images of elephants and birds, which are significant symbols in Southeast Asian cultures. The sarong, now part of the collection at the Minneapolis Institute of Art, is a testament to the rich textile tradition of the region.
