This kain tenun, a traditional textile cherished in the Malay Archipelago since the 15th century, woven with deep blue thread, features the jalur motif in metallic silver thread. Additionally, one of the panels has been sewn into a sarong. It is traditionally secured around the hip or waist by tying it into a knot or wrapping it multiple times.
