A gorgeous ceremonial Sumbanese ikat hinggi. Hinggis are men's prestige garments wrapped about the shoulder or hip, often gifted for special occasions. The rich pictorial and geometric designs reflect the religious and social structure of Sumbanese culture, weaving a visual story into each piece. The textile is ikat dyed, a method of resist dyeing yarns prior to dyeing and weaving the fabric. The ikat technique results in an iconic, slightly blurred quality to the designs as the weaver must carefully line up each colored section of the yarn while weaving.
This hinggi is beautifully detailed in sage green, soft peach pink, yellow, and pale blue, incorporating imagery of animals and geometric symbols across repeated bands for a beautiful, symmetrical design. The textile is mounted to a beige canvas wrapped around a stretcher for display.
