Ceremonial Cloth2787/26

Woman's ceremonial cloth (saput). The cloth consists of two panels of red silk, hand loomed on back-strap loom with discontinuous warp and dyed with a weft ikat resist technique-known as "endek", that are sewn together with the seam down the centre. A songket supplementary weft of silver covered threads divides the central design into four rows of rectangular shapes with tall tree-like cones at either end. Within the rectangles is a red, orange and cream weft ikat.

My nani coat, I called it, in honor of Florence Edenshaw Davidson, my teacher, collaborator, and surrogate grandmother (nani). The design tells of Florence's and my collaboration. On the front: Raven (nani Florence) telling the story; on the back: Frog (me) receiving it. I wore this coat to Florence's memorial potlatch in October 1994. - Margaret Blackman
