Description:
Sumbawa, Indonesia, tube sarong in cotton plaid (tembe), supplementary weft weave. Constructed of two woven panels, joined and seamed to form a tube. The large central field is decorated with weft ikat in gold thread with a design of birds and ships. This is in the Bugis or Makassar style of south Sulawesi, which became the dominant Royal style in Sumbawa, 125 x 84 cm. Other Notes: This, and the other Sumbawa cloths collected by Friend, originate from one of the two main court centres on the island of Sumbawa: Bima (Mbojo) and Sumbawa (Semawa). They were probably produced for people associated with the court to be worn on special occasions
