Old Borneo Iban Textile Bidang Skirt with Natural Dye

The Borneo Iban skirt, known as Bidang, intricately woven with natural dyes in shades of brown, red, and black, embodies the rich cultural heritage of the Iban people. Crafted from handwoven cotton, it features elaborate patterns and motifs symbolizing ancestral spirits and the natural world. The deep hues of brown, derived from local plants and barks, evoke earthy tones, while red signifies vitality and spiritual energy. Black, often achieved from natural sources like ironwood, adds depth and contrast, enhancing the skirt’s ceremonial significance during important cultural rituals and celebrations.
