...Breathtaking in its understated elegance and simplicity.

The black is quite soft and warm toned (as is the white which is also warm-toned) and made from a combination of tree tannin and mud. The pattern and bi-color scheme represent heaven and earth. The hand weaving is exquisite and extremely dense and thick, yet still supple.

Ikat is a time intensive method of creating patterns on fabric by tying off the yarn prior to weaving and dyeing. When dipped in the color, the dye colors the yarn except for the part that is tied off, which remains the original color. When the yarns are woven, these areas create the pattern. Multiple color ikats require multiple tyings and dyeings. The technique is originally from Indonesia.

Some slight imperfections in the weaving and color are normal in these handmade textiles and to be expected.

The dimensions are 68 in. x 52 in. without the fringe. The weight is 1.5 kilograms or 3.3 pound. New condition.
