| A rare Tausug male silk sash (locally called “kambut”) from the Tausug people of southwestern Mindanao, Philippines, circa the early 20th century. The sash is in stepped diamond pattern in nucleated cruciform motifs, woven of naturally dyed purple, orange and cream colored silk. Stepped zigzags and cruciform motifs make up the border patterns. While the center diamond motifs are placed side by side in different colors, the patterning of the two end portions is varied by using same color diamond-motif diagonals, green cruciforms on one end and nucleated zigzags on the other end. Measuring 11 x 115 inches, the sash is in fairly good condition over-all; there is a locally repaired two-inch tear (can be seen on the pictures) and a few small holes and selvedge frays. | ||
