Indonesian Kain Panjang or Body Cloth

Ink-blue figures walk across a tan field in a slow procession.

This kain panjang, or body cloth, was woven in cotton in Sumatra, Indonesia, in the 20th century. Long wrapped cloths of this type are commonly worn as skirts or draped for ceremonies in the region. A warm tan ground carries repeating rows of small blue motifs, some like birds, some like plants and stylized creatures, set in neat bands. A narrow border of darker blue patterning runs down one long edge. The cotton is soft, with a gently aged tone.

About 86 inches long and 41 wide. Hang it, drape it, or wrap yourself in it for dinner.
