Dress c. early 20th century

This is a "Dress" attributed to Hama, an artist whose life and work are not well-documented, and is dated to the early 20th century. The garment, made of a dark fabric and adorned with intricate embroidery, is an example of traditional dress from a specific region or culture. The detailed embroidery patterns and the use of sequins and metallic thread suggest a high level of craftsmanship and skill, perhaps indicative of a special occasion or status. The garment is part of the collection of the Minneapolis Institute of Art. This piece is a fascinating example of textile art and provides insight into the clothing traditions of the time and place.
