Sari c. 19th century

This 19th-century *sari*, created by an unknown artist, is a beautiful example of traditional Indian textile craftsmanship. The intricate geometric patterns, woven in shades of gold, red, and black, showcase the skill and artistry of the weaver. The *sari*, a garment worn by women in South Asia, is a significant part of the region's cultural heritage and is often adorned with elaborate designs and colors. This piece, now housed at the Minneapolis Institute of Art, offers a glimpse into the rich textile traditions of India.
