A contemporary version of a traditional men's cloth or wrap, this blue (indigofera sumatrana) and white indigo tye-dyed and warp ikat wrap is composed of two sections handwoven on a backstrap loom. Each section is approximately 25-1/2 wide, joined up the center with hand stitching. Additional edging (kabakil), approximately 1-3/4" wide is found at each end, finished with twined fringe. The design has bilateral and bifacial symmetry; the cloth displays mirror images both vertically and horizontally, similar to cloths dating back generations. This cloth features traditional motifs--shrimp (they shed their skins without dying and so represent rebirth; they are also associated with the ancestors and regarded as temporary froms assumed by them); crocodiles (givers of justice), patterns from Dutch coins (rearing horses and lions), and Myale sea worms (portend the annual corn harvest) in white and light blue on a dark blue background.
