AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

I acquired this older fine ceremonial Ikat Sarong, handmade from handwoven cotton and dyed with natural colors (including indigo), in the 1990s in Tamkesi / West Timor from the collection of the local Raja.
This extremely long ceremonial Sarong originates from the Insana District and is made of two equal parts and has a diameter of 53 cm.
The two main bands display the Kaimnatu motif in white and indigo colors, while the central part shows fine colored Ikat stripes.
A nearly identical Sarong is depicted in the collection of Peter ten Hoopen :: Ikat.us No 133 West Timor.
This Sarong has museum-quality.
