Ceremonial hanging (paporitonoling) c. 20th century

This ceremonial hanging, or "paporitonoling," is a stunning example of Indonesian textile art from the 20th century. The intricate design, featuring geometric patterns in red, black, and blue, is woven with exceptional skill and precision. It's likely the hanging was used in a ceremonial context, its bold colors and intricate design creating a visually impactful presence. The hanging is now housed at the Minneapolis Institute of Art.
