EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases a stunning ceremonial skirt, known as a tapis, from the 19th century. The intricate craftsmanship and vibrant colors of this textile masterpiece are truly mesmerizing. Made from a combination of cotton, silk, embroidery, sequins, and metallic trim, every detail has been carefully executed by the skilled hands of Indonesian artisans. Measuring at an impressive 128.91x121.92 cm, this ceremonial skirt is currently housed in the Dallas Museum of Art in Texas, USA. It belongs to the Steven G. Alpert Collection of Indonesian Textiles and was generously gifted by The Eugene McDermott Foundation. Originating from Sumatra and specifically created by the Paminggir people, this tapis represents not only their rich cultural heritage but also their exceptional weaving techniques passed down through generations. The print captures the essence of this traditional costume without any human presence or distractions. It allows viewers to focus solely on the exquisite fabric patterns and textures that make up this remarkable piece. With its historical significance and artistic value, this ceremonial skirt serves as a testament to Indonesia's diverse cultural traditions and its mastery in textile artistry.
