Scarf c. 20th century

This is a tie-dye scarf made in the 20th century by an anonymous artist. The scarf, which is currently held in the Minneapolis Institute of Art, is crafted from a vibrant red fabric with a pattern of thin, multicolored stripes. It is decorated with numerous, small, evenly-spaced circles in white. The scarf also has fringes at both ends. Tie-dye is a process that is often associated with the hippie movement, as the method of tie and dye is a simple one, and can be practiced by people of all ages.
