▪︎ABOUT
Pahikung is a weaving technique used on horizontal back tension looms that employs supplementary warps to embellish textiles with an infinite range of geometric and zoomorphic designs, many incorporating the rich iconography of Sumba Island.
Traditionally these were restricted to the maramba or nobility but today there are no longer any prohibitions of who can wear them. Nevertheless lau pahikung remain expensive and beyond the means of poor commoners.
It has been woven in three different sections and then joined to form a bigger piece.
Top - plain stripes which is usually the folded sections when worn.
Middle - in the' tangawahil' motif, which is the tray for sirih pinang or paan, served for every visiting guest. It is an important aspect in sumbese hospitality.
Bottom - In Kapaki Reanja, the dancing frog motif. Frog symbolises the arrival of heavy rain which is a source of life and abundant prosperity.
