Panel c. 20th century

This 20th-century, anonymously-created panel, currently on display at the Minneapolis Institute of Art, is a vibrant example of Indian textile craftsmanship. Composed of a variety of colorful fabrics, meticulously sewn and embellished with sequins, beads, and intricate embroidery, the piece features a striking geometric design with a central diamond motif. This patchwork aesthetic is characteristic of Kantha quilts, a traditional Indian art form, and reflects the cultural significance of textiles in South Asia.
