The abundant weaving materials available in Sarawak means that they can be utilised to produce useful items like baskets, bags, mats and other lifestyle products. While Sarawak is famed for her baskets, the Kraftangan Sarawak have taken a keen interest in the making of the Malay mats locally known as tikar bergerang (double plaiting mat). The tikar bergerang has a unique ‘usage expression’ and has its own ‘iconographical value’ for the Malay community.Unique, isn't it?
