Head covering c. 1920

This anonymous black and red silk head covering from the early 20th century is a testament to the skill of its maker. The intricate design features a central circular motif surrounded by a border of repeating geometric patterns, all executed in delicate red embroidery on a black silk base. The head covering was likely used as part of a traditional costume, and its vibrant color and intricate design would have made it a striking accessory. The head covering is a beautiful example of traditional textile arts and offers insight into the artistry and cultural practices of the past.
