| Very fine ikat and embroidered patterned men’s sarong from Timor Island. The weaving is in three panels on this piece and is exceptionally fine and supple. In excellent condition with a few minor frays on the selvedge only. Although by no means an antique, this is a genuine “cultural” item and not made for the “tourist market”- a realistic dating would be between 30 and 50 years old. The embroidery (which is finished on both sides) and woven patterns on the two side borders panels are made from chemical dyes except for three ikat bands and the center panel is made entirely from vegetable dyes except for the red, yellow and green stripes on the edge. Please note that the asymmetrical photo of the whole clothe is just the wind billowing it out while taking photos in my front yard. Dimensions: 133cm/52.5in x 120cm/47.2in. | |||||||||||
