006 Roti Group, Ndao
Blanket  
| | | Period: | 1920-40 | | Yarn: | Cotton, hand-spun, coarse | | Technique: | Warp ikat | | Panels: | 2 | | Size: | 106 x 190 cm (3' 5" x 6' 2") LW: 1.79 | | 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. | | 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: | Chapters on Roti Group and Ndao. | | Exhibited: | Museu do Oriente, Lisbon, 2014/15. | | Published: | Woven Languages, 2014.
