Description

This large handwoven ikat textile from West Sumba is naturally dyed and finely crafted with a tight weave, showcasing the traditional mamuli motif—a revered symbol of fertility and prosperity in Sumbanese culture. Its detailed patterns and rich natural hues reflect generations of artistry and cultural heritage, making it a distinctive and meaningful piece for collectors, art enthusiasts, or those seeking an exceptional statement textile.

As an authentic, handwoven textile crafted on a traditional back-strap loom, this piece may contain minor imperfections and unique variations. These are not flaws, but rather cherished hallmarks of its genuine, handmade origin. Slight irregularities in the weave and subtle variations in the natural dye colours are a testament to the artisan’s hand and the time-honoured process used to create it. We believe these details add to the unique character and story of each textile, confirming its place as a one-of-a-kind work of art.
