Indonesian Songket Sumatra in ancient times hadThis is a beautiful 19th Century Indonesian textile. It is hand woven likely in Bali in silk, and hand dyed with natural dyes. Similar to the songket silver metallic threads are woven in last to stand out against the background and make for a shimmery effect. The figures are symbols of early tribal motifs which often indicated that when transformed into a garment the wearer had wealth and status. The colors in this textile are lush. Condition Good.
