Handmade ikat patterned mat, directly sourced from Bali and crafted by local artisans. Ikat is a highly labor-intensive technique where patterns are created by tying and resist-dyeing the threads before weaving them. This process gives the patterns a unique "blur" or "bleed" effect. ● Product Description ① Design: The pattern primarily features ikat designs on the warp threads (vertical threads). This is a type known as warp ikat (tate-kasuri) or single ikat. Geometric flowers, plants, or abstract motifs are arranged in the center. Ikat patterns often depict ancestral gods, animals and flowers from spirit beliefs, and motifs wishing for a bountiful harvest, with meanings varying by region and use. - Fringe: Yes ② Uses: Interior decoration, mat, tapestry ③ Size: 100cm x 52cm ④ Colors: Red/Blue/Yellow Red is an important color in Indonesian traditional textiles, symbolizing power, creation, and the south. ■ Important Notes This is a handmade item by local artisans. There may be slight imperfections and unevenness. It is not uniform in size like a factory-made product. Please understand this before purchasing. We hope to deliver this to those who appreciate the charm of these variations and imperfections as part of its character. Most of the materials we handle have been collected one by one over more than 10 years by a friend living in Bali, while visiting local workshops and markets. Because of the materials encountered through connections with local artisans and people, many of them are no longer available. ※ Some similar designs are still being made, but the items we handle are those selected at the time. #BalineseGoods #Placemat #AsianInterior #EthnicGoods #Handmade #HandmadeFabricItems #Ikat #DiningGoods #DirectFromBali #OneOfAKind No. 17
