This textile undergoes some of the most complex dye work to achieve the colors on this cloth. It requires more than 4 months to complete tying the tiny ikat patterning on the threads, and dyeing with indigo then with the bark of the roots of Morinda citrifolia and then another overdue process to give the rich deep red -black background. The motif on this textile is called semba meaning walking together. If we follow the way of the ancestor we will be taken care of.
This unique textile is lovely on as a wall hanging or used as a table runners.
