▪︎ABOUT
The word ikat comes from a Malay word meaning to tie. The yarn are being tied or bound first, as a form of resist, in the desired pattern  and then dyed before being woven into textile. Hence the frayed look in the motifs typical of ikat fabric.

The textile of Sumba represent the means by which the present generation passes on its messages to future generations. Sumbamese textiles are deeply personal; they follow a distinct systematic form but also show the individuality of the weavers and the villages where they are produced.

In motif of a 'rusa' (deer) representing a majestic and wise leader.

 

**colours are very close representation but not 100% exact due to lightings and because some hues are difficult to capture.
