Songket is a supplementary weft technique, the motif being created in the base weave during weaving. The central motif in this songket is called kupu kupu which means butterfly. The pattern is defined by using 300-400 extra heddles. Each of these lifts only those warp threads under which the supplementary weft must pass at a given point in the design. As weaving progresses, the pattern heddle in use changes and the design develops.

Back then, paired songket were worn by both sexes as wedding attire for the royals. Smaller, single pieces are worn by men as saput hip-cloths. Nowadays, songket can be worn by anyone for various occasions.

Information about the makers will be supplied with each cloth.
