Sarong carpet from the Lampung region on the island of Sumatra in Indonesia. The basic fabric is a cotton ikat woven with red and blue stripes. Then it was decorated with rows of repeated patterns in gold thread.
This type of textile, used by women, was brought out during ceremonies or festivities. Sarong carpets were a way for the wearer to display his wealth and social rank.
This one has been framed on a wooden structure.
Good condition despite some wear and tear due to its age. Nice piece of collection.
