Handwoven in Sarawak
Pua Kumbu heritage motif, dream-woven by a dedicated Iban community artisan. Made over days, not minutes. Authentic heritage, directly from the weaver.
Description
By Nancy Ak Ngali from Rumah Gare, Ulu Kapit, Sarawak.
Ketam Batu Baruh Batang; Geramak Rau Dalam Lubang
"The crab hides under the fallen log; the mud crab hides inside the muddy hole"
Handwoven ikat silk on backstrap loom, using natural dyes of akar penawar landak (fibraurea tinctorial root) and tarum (marsdenia tinctorial).
This is a popular pattern dreamt by the ancestors of Rumah Gare, and replicated many times by the weavers of the longhouse. It depicts a scene oftentimes sighted in the river running in front of their village.
This pua kumbu may be used as a shawl or wall hanging, and it evokes happy sentiments.
