About this seller
Private sellerProduct description
Originally from Indonesia, dated most likely mid-20th century. A stunning woven ikat textile. 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.
