Description

Tatibin Ceremonial Ship Cloth

Used in Sumatra at rituals, ceremonies and family life events.

Tatibins are larger than Tampans and are more important textiles as there are fewer of these available within the family.

 122 x 43 cm

An excellent example of woven art!

This piece is a replica made in the 1970s probably by Haji Abdul Kadir Muhammad of Pekalongan
