Delivery fee: Select location
This volume celebrates the brocade textiles, or songket, of Bali. Songket, consisting of supplementary weft-decorated textiles made from imported silk and gold and silver threads, was historically reserved for the ruling elite. Today, these luxurious textiles are favoured as ceremonial attire, especially for Balinese brides and grooms. Songket Bali distinguishes itself from similar textiles produced in other regions of Indonesia and Southeast Asia through the use of unique Balinese-style Hindu motifs. These adorn garments and textiles that are part of offerings to deities and ancestors.
