Description

Large vintage Indonesian Sumba Hinggi Ikat handwoven using a back-strap loom and hand-dyed using natural vegetable dyes. Woven around the 1980’s this textile is tightly woven and the fringes are securely closed/woven with “kabakil” weaving. The weight of this textile is fairly thick with a fine-quality weave and design with ceremonial figures from the Marapu religion.

Please note that all our soft furnishing products are handmade, and due to the nature of the production process, you may find slight variations in colour, texture, size, and design. These variations contribute to the uniqueness and charm of each product, making them truly one-of-a-kind.

One-piece handwoven textiles are rarely produced wider than 90 cm wide.
