This woven textile panel, created by the Yoruba people of Nigeria around 1950, is a striking example of traditional African textile art. The panel features a geometric design of white and gray stripes arranged in a grid-like pattern, suggesting the influence of weaving techniques used in the region for centuries. This piece, now part of the Minneapolis Institute of Art's collection, offers a glimpse into the intricate artistry and cultural significance of Yoruba textiles.
