EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of Indonesian textile art from the 19th century. The image features a man's shoulder cloth or hip cloth, known as hinggi, made from homespun cotton. This exquisite garment measures an impressive 264.1605x111.12x cm and is housed in the Dallas Museum of Art in Texas, USA. Originating from the Sumba islands in Indonesia, hinggis were highly regarded as prestigious garments worn by Sumba men during significant events and ceremonies. They served as formal attire that symbolized status and cultural importance. The Steven G. Alpert Collection of Indonesian Textiles generously gifted this extraordinary artifact to the museum through The Eugene McDermott Foundation. The photograph beautifully captures the intricate details and vibrant colors of this historical textile masterpiece. Its patterned design reflects the rich artistic heritage of Indonesia and exemplifies its unique cultural identity. Displayed without anyone present, this image allows viewers to focus solely on appreciating the craftsmanship and beauty of this ancient fabric. It serves as a testament to the skillful hands that created it centuries ago while also highlighting its significance within Indonesian ethnography. Through this photo print, we are transported back in time to witness not only a stunning work of art but also gain insight into the traditions and customs surrounding clothing in 19th-century Indonesia.
