This striking textile is an authentic Antique Indonesian Tribal Ceremonial Panel, showcasing the intense color and detailed iconography of indigenous handweaving. Measuring 67 inches by 38 inches, this panel immediately captivates with its bold terracotta orange base cloth, densely embroidered or brocaded with rhythmic bands of complex figures. The iconography is deeply symbolic, featuring stylized human figures (often representing ancestors or deities), intricate geometric repeats, and distinctive lizard or crocodile motifs (which symbolize power, fertility, and the underworld in many Indonesian and Austronesian cultures). The vibrant palette of orange, plum, teal, and black threads, achieved using natural dyes, creates a visual rhythm that tells a complex cultural narrative. This level of saturated color and precise, symbolic figurative work elevates the piece to a significant work of ethnographic art.
This piece is a powerful vertical or horizontal accent, perfect for adding concentrated color and history to Global Eclectic, Minimalist, or Mid-Century Modern spaces. .Add this vintage fabric to your bedroom or living room for a pop of color and texture or hang it over a credenza or console to introduce dynamic texture and symbolic depth, letting the rich orange tone act as a warm, inviting anchor.
