Chestnut brown, tan, cream, red, black, and white, Pahikung-style supplementary warp textile from Sumba, Indonesia. The colors are derived completely from plant-based, vegetable dyes...a costly and time-consuming process. But the soft and subtle color palette obtained with natural dyes is immediately noticeable and....awesome!

These textiles are unique and only one exists in the world exactly like this one.

The black yarn is interwoven with the other colors giving added depth and visual excitement. The weaving is tight and dense and the fabric quite sturdy, yet soft and supple. The item is fairly thick with a nice, textured hand-feel. Either side can be used and I have shown the item from both the front (the darker side) and the back.

Total dimensions are 16.5 in. x 60 in. without the fringe. The fringe itself is about 5 inches long.

This is a handwoven and hand embroidered textile. Please expect some normal telltale signs of the human textile artist (aberrations in the weaving and embroidery)! Who wants perfect machine made anyway??
