Saddle Cover for a Mule c. 20th century

This saddle cover, created by Glaoua, is a vibrantly colored example of Moroccan textile art. The intricate geometric designs, woven in shades of yellow, orange, white, and brown, are characteristic of traditional Berber crafts. This saddle cover, likely from the 20th century, would have been a practical and decorative addition to a mule's saddle, reflecting the rich cultural heritage of the Glaoua region. The cover is currently on display at the Minneapolis Institute of Art.
