Description

Large vintage Indonesian Sumba Hinggi Ikat was handwoven using a back-strap loom and hand-dyed using vibrant natural dye colours. This textile is tightly woven and the fringes are securely closed/woven with “kabakil” weaving. This textile is thick with fine-quality weave and pictorial classic ceremonial motifs and details.

Please note that all our handwoven wall hangings and runners (table or bed runners) are hand-dyed and woven using a back-strap loom, and due to the nature of the production process, you may find minor imperfections and flaws in the weave. The minor flaws or imperfections make the items truly unique, and one-of-a-kind.

Materials:

* Made from 100% naturally dyed cotton yarn.

Dimensions approximately:

* Length 128 inches (approx 328 cm), Width = 46 inches (approx. 130 cm)

*  This throw consists of 2 panels sewn together; this is a common technique practised by the weavers in Indonesia when trying to achieve 1 large piece of cloth. One-piece handwoven textiles are rarely produced wider than 90 cm wide. This technique has become useful guidance for textile lovers to determine whether the textiles are genuinely handwoven with a back-strap loom.
