Description
Textiles occupy a special position among the artistic expressions of Indonesian culture, not only because of their beauty, but also because of the way they are linked to the communities where they are made. Thus, motifs on textiles can be regarded as signs that convey a message - in a religious context, even as prayers. Textiles from the Iban of Borneo, the inhabitants of East Sumba and the Atoni of Timor serve as examples.
