| | | | 006 Roti Group, Ndao
Blanket
| | Locale: | | | Period: | 1920-40 | | Panels: | 2 | | Design: | Narrow bands in brown, faded indigo and brick red. In its asymmetry shows the Savunese, rather than Rotinese visual influence that is a Ndao characteristic. The main motif is a truncated jilamprang, prerogative of the nobility. Truncating patterns is another Ndao characteristic. | | Size: | 106 x 190 cm (41.7 x 74.8 in) | | Yarn: | Cotton, hand-spun, coarse | | Comment: | Rather early 20th c. men's cloth from Ndao in hand-spun cotton and natural colours. The near-equal presence of morinda and indigo, similar to that in PC 008, has created a dark mauve overall tonality. The cloth has a pleasant well worn feel. | | Background: | Additional information in chapters on Roti Group and Ndao. | | Published: | Woven Languages, 2014.
