Beti naek (men's wrap)


Locale: Insana
Period: Circa 1950
Panels: 2
Design: The type Yeager and Jacobson categorize as 'multiple design stripe selimut'. The colour palette with indigo dominant and the tight ikating of complex patterns are typical for Insana. The main motif has a distinct directionality, with visual movement flowing outward from the centre towards the extremities.
