Ceremonial Bed Sheet 1910

This "Ceremonial Bed Sheet" from 1910 is a delicate example of textile art, showcasing the craftsmanship of an anonymous artist. The piece is made from a sheer fabric woven in a checkered pattern of pink and white. The sheerness of the fabric allows for a sense of lightness and airiness, while the delicate lace trim along the edges adds a touch of elegance. The bed sheet would have been used in a ceremonial context, possibly as part of a wedding or other important event, highlighting the importance of textiles in traditional cultures. The bed sheet is currently housed at the Minneapolis Institute of Art.
