Indonesian Ikat & Pahikung Man's Mantle

Firmly, a tall woven panel with a central figure, flanked by borders of animals and ornaments.

This ikat and pahikung man's mantle is from Sumba, Indonesia, and dates to the 20th century. It is cotton. Pahikung is a technique on Sumba in which extra threads are added to the weave to form raised patterns, often alongside the dyed ikat bands. Held in frame, a narrow rectangular textile with a fringe at both ends. A central figure with raised arms is surrounded by smaller creatures and patterns in blue, white and rust. Orange and pink borders with repeated motifs frame both sides. It is 43 inches wide and 98 long.

Plenty of passengers on this one, and they are all lined up.
