Ringkasan: This book provides a detailed overview of the ikat‑weaving tradition of the Iban people of Sarawak, documenting the entire process from plant preparation for natural dyes, warping and dyeing threads, through to the back‑strap loom techniques and finished textiles (pua kumbu) used in ritual and daily contexts. With seventy colour photographs of finished fabrics and many images of process steps, it also includes a glossary of weaving terms and cultural commentary on the symbolism embedded in the motifs. This source is valuable for those studying ethnic textiles, indigenous crafts and the cultural heritage of the Iban people, particularly as it links technical weaving knowledge with social and ritual meanings behind the cloth.
