About the Item
This exquisite ikat textile from Sumba Island, Indonesia, is a handwoven treasure that speaks to centuries of tradition, artistry, and cultural depth. Crafted by skilled artisans using age-old techniques passed down through generations, the fabric is dyed and woven entirely by hand, making each piece truly one of a kind. The textile features intricate tribal motifs that reflect the spiritual beliefs and social structures of the island’s indigenous communities. Bold, geometric patterns are interspersed with elaborate embroidery, lending the piece an added dimension of texture and richness. Embroidered accents bring out the fine details in the design, highlighting the painstaking care put into every thread. Striking animal and human figures are woven into the fabric, each symbol telling a story. Horses—often regarded as sacred in Sumbanese culture—stride alongside mythical creatures and ancestral icons, representing strength, freedom, and connection to the spiritual world. Human forms are depicted in ceremonial poses, evoking themes of ritual, power, and continuity. The deep earthy tones, dyed using natural plant-based colors, create a visually powerful contrast against more vibrant reds, indigos, and ochres. This interplay of color and form captures the essence of Sumba’s landscape and the soul of its people. Whether used as a wall hanging decor or cherished collector's piece, this ikat textile embodies the profound cultural narrative and artistic excellence of Sumba Island. Chickens hold rich symbolic meaning in both the traditional ceremonies and everyday life of the people of East Sumba. The chicken motifs found on this textile represents the birth of a spirit, reflecting the deep spiritual connections embedded in Sumbanese cultural expressions. This textile is old and thus has some wear and tear which adds to its character, the various tears in the fabric are highlighted in the images.

Vintage Hand Woven Indonesian Ikat Textile Panel
Located in Barrington, IL
A striking vintage hand-woven Ikat textile panel from Indonesia, dating to the mid-1900s. This artisanal piece features a bold abstract design, achieved through the meticulous process of warp ikat—a technique in which the threads are selectively tie-dyed before weaving to create complex, interlocking patterns.
Woven from natural cotton fibers, this panel likely originates from the Lesser Sunda Islands in eastern Indonesia, possibly from the culturally rich island of Sumba. The intricate craftsmanship and dynamic geometric forms reflect traditional Indonesian textile artistry while offering a timeless, global aesthetic.
Ideal for display as wall-mounted tribal art, this textile adds texture, heritage, and warmth to any interior, whether as a centerpiece in modern spaces or a complementary accent in eclectic or traditional décor.
