This Nupe "Skirt" from the Minneapolis Institute of Art is a visually striking example of woven textiles from Nigeria. The skirt features a complex geometric pattern of red, yellow, and blue, which are woven into the fabric using a variety of techniques. The skirt would have been worn as a wrapper, and its intricate design would have been significant to the Nupe people.
