About the Item

This extremely rare 19th century Woman’s Ceremonial Skirt (Tapis) comes from South Sumatra, Indonesia. The skirt (Sarong) made out cotton dyed with natural brown, purple, mustard-yellow and orange dyes and is densely embroidered and couched with bands of gold and silver thread, appliqué work including metallic lettering which most likely spells out the name of the village in which the embroiderer presumably lived, and probably the name of the weaver or the name of an owner of this Sarong. This skirt is one of a rare group of tapis textiles that have been embroidered with lettering and words. There are three separate bands of lettering, with varying ‘typefaces’, and these run right around the skirt. The condition for the skirt is very good, considering its age and the material from which it is made. There are some loose threads but it’s very minor. It’s an absolutely one of a kind museums quality textile. The material is richly decorated with a lot of different ornaments and flowers and some of them might remind a shape of the French royal symbol fleur de lis. This skirt is extremely rare to find and a true piece of Asian history of 19th century.
