▪︎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 design and then dyed before being woven into textile. Hence the frayed look in the motifs typical of ikat fabric.
Hinggi are large blankets or men's waist cloth decorated with warp ikat used for special events or traditional ceremonies. In the past, only nobles had the right to use and wear such textiles. They are also used in customary exchanges.
Although Christianity is the dominant religion of the Sumbanese, many combine their faith with animise practice. They believe a person is able to acquire the spiritual powers and qualities of certain creatures when textiles displaying such motifs are worn.
*The deer motifs dominate this hinggi. It is a symbol of the bravery and wisdom of a leader in solving community problems. It signifies a thoughtful and decisive nature.
*Rooster motif symbolizes the rooster’s morning crow, which represents awakening, the beginning of life, and leadership that is protective and nurturing.
*The middle geometric pattern is the Patola Kamba, symbolizing beauty and friendship, and is among the most cherished patterns in the region.
**pictures are very close representation of the colours but not 100% due to different light conditions and viewing screens.
