Young man's or warrior's wrap c. 20th century

This 20th-century textile, likely intended as a wrap or blanket, showcases a bold geometric pattern with a repeating grid of red and blue squares. The intricate design, created by an unknown artist, features a contrasting band of repeating diamond shapes in black, red, and white. The use of strong colors and symmetrical forms creates a striking visual impact, making it a striking example of traditional textile arts. The piece, currently housed at the Minneapolis Institute of Art, stands as a testament to the rich tapestry of indigenous craft traditions, reflecting the skill and artistry of its anonymous maker.
