Face veil c. early 20th century

This "Face Veil" is a traditional piece of clothing from the early 20th century. The dark fabric and intricate embroidery suggest the veil was likely worn by a woman in a ceremonial or social setting. The veil's simple yet elegant design speaks to the anonymous artist’s skill and the enduring cultural traditions of its origin. The piece is currently housed at the Minneapolis Institute of Art, where it is studied as an example of textiles and cultural practices.
