EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases a stunning woman's ceremonial mantle, known as "baqnouq" from the early 20th century. Crafted with a combination of wool and cotton, this textile masterpiece is a testament to the exquisite artistry of the Tunisian School. Measuring an impressive 236.2x118.1 cm, this ceremonial mantle stands out for its intricate design and vibrant colors. The unknown artist behind this creation has skillfully woven together various elements that reflect the rich cultural heritage of Tunisia. The baqnouq holds great significance in North African traditions, particularly among the Zlass people who are associated with it. This garment was often worn during special occasions such as ceremonies and parties, symbolizing elegance and prestige. Now housed within the Dallas Museum of Art in Texas, USA, this remarkable piece serves as a reminder of Tunisia's artistic legacy. Its acquisition through the Textile Purchase Fund highlights its historical importance and ensures its preservation for generations to come. As we admire this photograph captured by Bridgeman Images, let us appreciate not only its aesthetic beauty but also recognize how textiles like these connect us to diverse cultures around the world.
