This anonymous textile from the early 20th century is a striking example of traditional weaving techniques. The vibrant red ground is adorned with a repeating pattern of stylized figures, woven in white, yellow, and orange threads. The borders feature geometric designs in a variety of colors. This type of head covering was likely worn by women in a specific region or community, showcasing the rich artistic heritage of the anonymous artist. The piece, now housed in the Minneapolis Institute of Art, serves as a testament to the enduring beauty of textile art.
