saput (Ceremonial Cloth)
Physical description
Woman's ceremonial cloth (saput). The cloth consists of two panels of red silk, hand loomed on back-strap loom with discontinuous warp and dyed with a weft ikat resist technique-known as "endek", that are sewn together with the seam down the centre. A songket supplementary weft of silver covered threads divides the central design into four rows of rectangular shapes with tall tree-like cones at either end. Within the rectangles is a red, orange and cream weft ikat.
