EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of Indonesian textile art - a Man's shoulder or hip cloth (hinggi) from the 20th century. Made from cotton, this exquisite garment measures an impressive 264.7955x114.93x cm and is currently housed in the prestigious Dallas Museum of Art in Texas, USA. Originating from the Sumba islands in Indonesia, hinggi were highly regarded as symbols of prestige and were worn by Sumba men during significant events and ceremonies. The intricate design and vibrant colors of this hinggi reflect the rich cultural heritage of its creators. The Steven G. Alpert Collection of Indonesian Textiles generously donated this valuable artifact to the museum through The Eugene McDermott Foundation. Its inclusion in their collection highlights its significance as an important representation of Indonesian culture. This photograph captures the beauty and craftsmanship of the hinggi without any distractions, allowing viewers to appreciate every detail with clarity. The pattern on the fabric exhibits a harmonious blend of colors that adds depth and visual interest to this stunning textile. As we admire this extraordinary work, it serves as a reminder not only of Indonesia's artistic traditions but also its diverse indigenous communities who have contributed immensely to their country's cultural tapestry. This image provides us with a glimpse into history, celebrating both human creativity and our shared global heritage.
