This large Indonesian textile is a double ikat, hand-woven from cotton dyed with natural indigo. The weavers have created a motif with endless stars edged by horses that evoke the afterlife, the realm of waiting, or simply the world of dreams.
In Indonesia, the creation of an ikat is a meaningful process, traditionally carried out by women. Each piece can take several months to complete, with the weaving often accompanied by rituals and ceremonies that honor the skills of the craftswomen, their community and ancestors.
This reverence is woven into the threads imbuing the textile with a sense of continuity and respect for tradition. Despite its weight, this ikat remains soft and comforting to the touch, a testament to both the quality of the cotton and the care invested in its making.
Perfect as a throw or a wall art, this textile is more than a decorative piece. It is a vessel of stories, symbols, skills offering beauty and a connection to Indonesian heritage.
