EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century print showcases a magnificent man's shoulder or hip cloth, known as hinggi, from the Indonesian School. Made of homespun cotton, this textile is a testament to the technical prowess and visual splendor of Sumba Island in Indonesia. Measuring an impressive 276.8606x84.46 cm, this hinggi holds great cultural significance as it was an essential part of ceremonial gift exchange on the island. The vibrant colors and intricate patterns on this cloth make it a true work of art. The Dallas Museum of Art in Texas proudly displays this masterpiece, acquired through their Textile Purchase Fund. It stands as a representation of the rich heritage and artistic traditions found in Indonesia. As we admire this photograph, we are transported back to the 19th century when textiles like these were highly valued for their beauty and craftsmanship. Without anyone present in the image, our focus is solely on the exquisite details woven into every inch of fabric. Let us appreciate not only its aesthetic appeal but also recognize its importance within ethnography and anthropology studies. This hinggi serves as a tangible link to understanding Indonesian culture and its place within Asia's diverse tapestry. Bridgeman Images captures the essence of this remarkable piece with precision and clarity, allowing us to marvel at its intricate design without any distractions or commercial associations.
