This vibrantly colored, geometric textile panel, created by the Zarma people of Niger, exemplifies the traditional weaving techniques of the region. Composed of bold blocks of color in orange, red, white, black, blue, and green, the piece displays an abstract design that reflects the Zarma's understanding of geometric patterns and their use in everyday life. The panel, currently housed at the Minneapolis Institute of Art, is a testament to the artistic ingenuity and cultural heritage of the Zarma people.
