This songket sash is sown unto a black cloth to form a nice runner. I bought this from a Singapore curios shop.
In Indonesia, Songket is produced in South of Sumatra (Palembang) and some of region such as; Kalimantan, Bali, Sulawesi, Lombok and Sumbawa. Outside of Indonesia, further production areas include the east coast of the Malay Peninsula and Brunei. Historically, production was located in politically significant kingdoms because of the high cost of materials; the gold thread used was originally wound with real gold leaf.
