Kain Tenun in Green and Yellow with Vertical Red Panel

This kain tenun, a traditional textile cherished in the Malay Archipelago since the 15th century, is woven with green and yellow silk threads and features a vertical red panel in its centre. Commonly worn by Malay and Indian men in maritime Southeast Asia, it serves as everyday attire and is also used during religious activities like daily prayers. During festive occasions such as Hari Raya, it is often paired with the baju melayu as a kain samping. It is traditionally secured around the hip or waist by tying it into a knot or wrapping it multiple times.
