This 19th-century Indonesian "Sarong" textile is a beautiful example of traditional woven fabric. The piece features a rich, dark brown background, with a single vertical band of intricate gold and black geometric designs. The pattern of the sarong is created using a complex weaving technique, showcasing the skill and artistry of the anonymous Indonesian weaver. The "Sarong" is a versatile garment worn by both men and women in Indonesia, and its intricate designs and vibrant colors often carry cultural and symbolic meanings.
