Handed Down from Mothers to Daughter

The supplementary motif ngganja is an elephant. Supplementary patterns such as this are handed down from mother to daughter as cultural heirlooms.

Teara haringgi is a single panel textile that may utilize supplementary warp patterning techniques or ikat. It is worn as a shoulder cloth by Sumbanese women to complete their traditional dress or worn by women as a narrow head cloth that is sometimes used to hold a decorative comb in place.
