Panel c. 19th century

This 19th-century "Panel" is a striking example of ikat weaving. The anonymous artist created this piece using a resist dyeing technique, where the yarn is tied and dyed before being woven, resulting in the intricate geometric patterns of red and white on a dark background. This type of textile, which is likely from Indonesia, is known for its elaborate designs and is a testament to the skill and artistry of the weavers who created it.
