Layered with history and spiritual meaning the ikat dyeing process is very intricate and has been passed down generations.  Vegetable dyes are used for vibrant colours originating from the kombu tree and indigo plant. 

These type of cloths were worn for ceremonial purposes and by men of noble stature they are incredibly vibrant and impactful visually. 

Spiritually they tell a story and offer protection through the tribal symbolism shown such as skull trees, deities, birds and ancestral beings.

This specific sumba cloth which has originated from the island of sumba in Indonesia has been lovingly sewn onto a fabric hanging.

Such a thing of beauty, it would make the most stunning backdrop as a wall hanging.
