Amendil c. 20th century

"Amendil" is a 20th-century Berber textile from the Ait Ammeln tribe, now housed in the Minneapolis Institute of Art. This white cotton cloth is a striking example of traditional Berber craftsmanship. It features a simple yet elegant design with a geometric pattern of colorful embroidered borders, including red, green, and yellow, along with brown and white threads, creating a visual feast for the eyes. These intricate details are reminiscent of ancient Berber traditions and showcase the talent and ingenuity of the Ait Ammeln artisans.
