EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning tunic, or jibbeh, hails from Sudan and dates back to the late 19th century. The exact creator of this intricately designed piece remains unknown, adding to its mystique and historical allure. The tunic is adorned with an applied plied yarn edging and features applique work made from wool and cotton plain weaves and wool twill weaves. The embroidery on the tunic is a marvel in itself, executed with cotton in chain cross and a derivative of herringbone stitches. The tunic boasts layers of cotton plain weave fabric, making it a textural delight. It is lined with cotton plain weaves for added warmth and durability. The tunic's design is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of Sudan and the African continent as a whole. This piece is a prime example of the intricate needlework and sewing techniques that were common in Sudan during the 19th century. The tunic's pieced and quilted sections add to its visual appeal and demonstrate the skill and creativity of its maker. The tunic's wool fabric and cotton lining make it a versatile piece that could be worn in various climates. The tunic is now part of the collection of the Art Institute of Chicago, where it is preserved and showcased for the world to appreciate as a significant artifact of African textile history. This piece is a must-see for anyone interested in fashion, textiles, or the arts of Africa.
