Kafate (sarong)
|
| Locale: | Marica is a tiny island off Pantar, Alurung people. |
| Period: | Late 20th to early 21st c. |
| Yarn: | Cotton, hand-spun, medium |
| Technique: | Warp ikat |

| Design: | The design is very similar to that of a type a sarong made on Ternate, the tenapi sinta gala of the Biatabang lineage. The diamond shaped lozenges of Ternate are called utam pei, and represent a tropical almond. The finials on the widest ikated bands on Ternate represent ufe kotong, sea hares. The snaking lines are kago no-eking, intertwining snakes which signify solidarity. The horizontal dashes are a feature of another Ternate sarong type (Peni & McIntosh type E). |
