Balinese 'Endek' Sarong (TP) |
| Lovely, silky cotton is used to make these handwoven ikat textiles, which are worn for ceremonial occasions. They have a sheen that cannot be captured in a photograph. The design is from the famous 'geringsing' double ikat textiles made in Tenganan, tho these pieces are from Sideman. It has become much more difficult to find quality endek these days and these may be the last that we will have with crisp ikat, good colors, quality materials and complex, traditional designs. Size: 39.75" x 81" |
