This striking example of Khes, a type of woven textile, was likely created in the mid-20th century. The piece's intricate geometric patterns, composed of small squares and circles, are woven into a rich tapestry of blue, white, and red hues. The Khes textile is believed to be a product of a specific region in the Indian subcontinent, and is often used for a variety of purposes including clothing and decoration. The Minneapolis Institute of Art houses this significant piece of Indian textile art.
