Skirt c. 1970 - 1980

"Skirt" is a traditional garment from the Atir farming group, dating back to the 1970s or 1980s, now housed in the Minneapolis Institute of Art. The skirt is made of black fabric with a dotted pattern and is adorned with colorful embroidery, featuring floral motifs and intricate geometric designs. The bottom edge is decorated with a vibrant red band, highlighted with small mirror pieces, adding a shimmering quality to the garment. This skirt exemplifies the rich tradition of textile artistry and the use of traditional techniques within the Atir farming community.
