This 20th-century "Skirt" by an unknown Chakma artist is a striking example of traditional textile art. The woven piece features a deep blue background with bold, vertical stripes of red and black along the sides. The skirt's intricate border adds a level of visual complexity, showcasing the craftsmanship of the Chakma people. This skirt, now part of the Minneapolis Institute of Art's collection, exemplifies the enduring beauty and cultural significance of handwoven textiles.
