Zuni textiles are traditional woven fabrics crafted by the Zuni people of the southwestern United States. Using natural fibers like wool and cotton, skilled artisans create intricate designs often featuring geometric patterns, symbols, and vibrant colors that hold cultural and spiritual significance. These textiles serve functional purposes, such as clothing and rugs, but also represent artistry and cultural identity. The weaving process involves careful craftsmanship passed down through generations, embodying a rich heritage and connection to the Zuni community's history and spiritual beliefs.
