Tewuni Rai Savu - tubular cloth or sarong for a girl èi lekowue
Rp 1.045.000,00
Description:
Children’s clothes until puberty have stripes but no ikat motifs. The first sarong worn by a girl, èi lekowue, traditionally did not have the red colour either. An adult size sarong for members of the Lesser Blossom group has four large black bands per half piece. However for a girl there are often only three black bands. Yet black edges at the middle seam still identify the wearer as a member of the Lesser Blossom group.
