A ‘selendang’ or shoulder cloth is a narrow piece of rectangular cloth worn over the shoulder. This shoulder cloth is decorated with floral designs. Its centrefield was woven using the weft ikat technique, where the horizontal threads are tied and dyed before weaving. The songket end panels are decorated with gold supplementary weft weave.
