HAND-WOVEN IKAT TEXTILES
The best hand-woven ikat
textiles in the Malukus are said to
be produced in the Tanimbar Islands.
Ani Kelmaskosu learned to weave ikat
from her grandmother and has already
taught her teenage daughter an art
that in many places is dying out.
What’s more, Ani has established
a sort of informal weaving studio
at her home where other women
in the neighbourhood can come to
work on fine textiles that are now
attracting buyers and collectors
from all over the country.

Kabarnya kain tenun ikat terbaik
di Maluku dibuat di Kepulauan Tanimbar.
Ani Kelmaskosu belajar menenun dari
neneknya dan telah mengajarkan seni
yang semakin langka ini kepada anak
perempuannya yang masih remaja. Lebihlebih, Ani telah mendirikan studio tenun
nonformal di rumahnya, tempat para
wanita di lingkungannya dapat datang
dan membuat kain tenun indah yang
akan menarik para pembeli dan
kolektor dari berbagai daerah.
