I have read that the weavers in Lampung, Sumatra, stopped making the traditional cloths by the end of the 19th century, but that there was a revival of the technique in the 1970s, and weavers in other areas began making them for sale in the tourist markets of Bali and Jakarta. I am assuming this one that I just acquired is one of the later recreations. It is approximately 18 x 18&quot; (in the frame). There is no information on the back. The slight irregularities in the photos are reflections, rather than flaws in the textile.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thank you.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]447848[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]447850[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
