This exhibition is a rich sampling of the
multitude of Indonesian cultures and traditions, from indigenous
tribal sarongs, ikats and sacred ritual cloths to the highly stylized
batiks of the Javanese court.
Whether abstract or realistic, each textile
displays woven or applied symbols which bring the power of plants,
animals and supernatural spirits into everyday life. All of these
vintage and antique
textiles were made for personal use by the women who wove them, often
as “bride-wealth” symbols of prestige and accomplishment.
