This 20th-century textile, known as a *Selimut* in Indonesia, is a woven cloth characterized by a vibrant pattern of stripes in hues of yellow and orange. The central panel features a more intricate design of stylized motifs, woven in blue and white. *Selimut* were traditionally used as blankets or wraps, and this example demonstrates the skill and artistry of anonymous Indonesian weavers. Its striking colors and complex patterns showcase the rich cultural heritage of textile traditions in Southeast Asia.
