About the Item
Antique Beaded Ceremonial Dance Sarong (Lawo Butu) East Flores, Indonesia
A rare beaded tube sarong from the Lio people in south eastern Flores, Indonesia, reportedly worn by young Lio girls at dances performed during rain ceremonies. The lower section of the skirt is embellished with trade beads in the form of diamonds with radiating tendrils, likely octopuses or fertility symbols. Lawo butu were used over and over, typically re-mended and beads reattached.
This sarong has some minor bead loss and some reattachment of (old) beads with newer cotton yarns, as well as one patched area in the waist band.
