Band c. 18th century

This 18th century band, currently housed at the Minneapolis Institute of Art, is a fascinating example of textile art. Crafted by an unknown artist, the band showcases intricate geometric patterns woven in a vibrant red and white palette. The repeating design, likely inspired by traditional motifs, demonstrates the skill of the weaver in creating a visually appealing and symmetrical composition. This textile provides a glimpse into the history of textile traditions and craftsmanship during the 18th century.
