Mud cloth skirt c. 20th century

This "Mud cloth skirt" is a stunning example of traditional West African textile art, dating back to the 20th century. The skirt, currently housed at the Minneapolis Institute of Art, is a testament to the skill and artistry of anonymous creators. The intricate geometric patterns, created through a resist-dyeing process, are visually captivating and represent a rich cultural heritage. The skirt's brown and white color scheme and repetitive pattern evoke a sense of rhythm and balance, typical of mud cloth designs.
