Name of Shop: Local Market Place
Almost every tourist knows you can buy on Flores Island the most beautiful, famous Ikats (see link). Actually I had never seen Ikat fabrics before, just heard about. Watching at all those hand-weaven Ikat clothes you cannot imagine these Ikats are so wanted! So if you are on Flores find yourself some of the ikat places (mostly a market place at specific days, so ask around) ad spoil yourself for an Ikat.
What To Buy: The name of "Ikat" is a Malaysian one. Though the ikat-method is well-known all over the world when hand-weaving. In Guatamala the name is "Jaspe", in Japan "Kasuri" and Thailand knows the "Matmee/Mudmee". I bought several Ikat's (size of a big shawl) in Ende at pasar-location (included the black one out of Sumba), and some in Labuhan Bajo ...
Labuhan Bajo - Sumbawa Ikat
What To Pay: The black one was about 10$, keep bargain!

Nice colored lakes. Remind me of the ones in Bandai highland in Japan. Great page of another less travelled place. | hunterV Sat Aug 7, 2004 09:41 UTC

Mas Roy, seems you're anywhere in my country :) salute!!!! | RoyJava Sat Jul 24, 2004 07:51 UTC
I agree Jadedmuse,... Just the black was stunning, the waves dangerous, and the beach filled with insects. That's why we decided to lay on the rocks, where we could wet our bodies anytime, without pulled into the water ... tnx for comment |
