Bedja Panel c. 1960

The "Bedja Panel," created by Abdul Karim in the 1960s, is a vibrant tapestry showcasing a repeating pattern of stylized floral motifs in hues of pink, orange, and yellow against a deep purple background. The intricate design, likely inspired by traditional Bedja textile traditions, reflects a fusion of contemporary and historical influences. This textile panel, housed at the Minneapolis Institute of Art, is a testament to the enduring artistry of Sudanese weavers.
