Pua Kumbu is a traditional woven textile from the Iban people of Malaysia, particularly in the state of Sarawak. This fabric is often made from cotton or silk and features intricate patterns and vibrant colors, which hold cultural significance. The designs typically reflect the beliefs, stories, and natural surroundings of the Iban community. The process of creating Pua Kumbu involves a technique called ikat, where threads are dyed before weaving to create unique patterns. These textiles are not only used for clothing but also serve ceremonial purposes, symbolizing identity and heritage within the Iban culture.
