⁠For June, we head to the island of Sumba in the Indonesian archipelago to explore the tradition of ikat weaving. 🌏 🌴 ⠀ ⠀ These textiles are imbued with cultural and spiritual significance. Traditionally used for ceremonial purposes, they also communicate the wearer’s wealth and power. 🐓 💪 🐴⠀ ⠀ Swipe right to view a diagram exploring its symbolism as well as a hand illustrated map by @elainesdanceparty drawing ✍️ 🗺 ⠀ ⠀ Head over to the resources section of our site or sign up for our monthly newsletter - Dealer’s Notes to get the full story!⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ #indonesianikat #sumbaikat #indonesiancraft #indonesianart #sumbatextiles #sumba #worldmaps #heirloomrugofthemonth (at Heirloom) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBlpN5KnMZq/?igshid=1g95dzngolmoy
