Beschrijving

Een prachtig, handgeweven Ikat doek afkomstig van Sumba, Indonesië. Het doek is versierd met gedetailleerde figuren van dieren en mensen. Een uniek stuk textielkunst.

Originally from Indonesia, dated most likely mid-20th century. A stunning woven ikat textile known as a hinggi. The cotton fibers dyed in rich hues of dark plum, beige, ochre yellow, red, and green. Repeating abstract horses and human figures amongst a kaleidoscope of geometric and foliate motifs decorate the entire surface.

Extra special is the fact that patterns are passed from generation to generation - from grandmothers to granddaughters - through pattern guides known as pahudu comprised of string and palm fronds - and these patterns are safeguarded only for family members to use. Ikat textiles are therefore important for life-cycle rites.

Size approx 135/ 290.
