The exquisite sharpness of the white motifs on this deep blue indigo blanket is a mark of a master weaver who takes great pride in her work. Her careful and tedious tying the threads with binds of palm fiber that will resist the repeated application of indigo dyeing is remarkable. The indigo is well finished with no lingering smell of the process which makes it safe to put on your couch or use as a bed throw. The ikat motif lion or mahang motif is derived from the image of rampant lions found on Dutch coins. It represents power and bravery. Kurang refers a lobster. The symbol of this motif is to remind people that like the lobster it is important to work together.

The village of Hama Parengu where this cloth is made maintains its animistic ties to the Marapu or ancestral beliefs where they continue to following the traditional ways of caring for the land and maintaining strong social ties.
