This "Poncho" from the early 20th century is a striking example of traditional textile weaving. The anonymous artist created a repeating pattern of vertical stripes in indigo blue, white, and red, accented by delicate geometric designs in a diamond motif. The vibrant colors and intricate detail are testament to the skill and artistry of the unknown weaver. This poncho, currently housed at the Minneapolis Institute of Art, showcases the rich cultural heritage of textile traditions.
