Sumbanese Hinggi - hand-woven on the eastern Indonesian island of Sumba, these ikats were traditionally worn by men as waist or shoulder cloths known as hinggi. in the production of the Sumbanese ikat, the natural dye resist is applied to the cotton, silk or wool yarns before weaving so the design is created in the weave rather than on the finished cloth, making the pattern visible from both sides. design motifs may have ethnic, ritual or symbolic meaning with patterns that are usually composed of geometric, human or animal figures.
