This beautiful vintage Indonesian ikat cotton textile is a striking example of traditional craftsmanship, likely hailing from the islands of Sumba or Timor. It features a harmonious interplay of vertical symmetry and cultural symbolism, with alternating wide and narrow bands running the full length of the cloth.
The central and outer bands display a repeating diamond lattice motif filled with geometric floral elements, woven in a warm sandy beige against a deep, inky indigo ground. Between them, slim stripes of repeating small-scale ikat patterns add visual rhythm and intricacy. The textile’s natural palette, achieved with plant-based dyes, lends it an earthy authenticity and timeless elegance.
Handwoven using the resist-dye ikat technique, this piece reflects both meticulous labour and a deep-rooted heritage passed down through generations. The fine fringed edges complete its artisanal look. Whether used as a wall hanging, table textile, or draped over furniture, it embodies the soul of Indonesian textile art, grounded in tradition, storytelling, and everyday beauty.
