Woman’s warp-faced cotton tube skirt, kain indu’, or kain kebat, of probably homespun cotton with natural dyes. It has a broad main panel divided into patterned bands of ikat, each band flanked by plain and patterned stripes in market-bought yarns, dyed chemically in a range of colours, on both sides. A wider band of such stripes to either side of the main panel. The warp ends are hand-stitched together to form a tube, so that when worn the stripes become bands. The ikat designs are in beige, dark red and dark brown on a dark red ground. There is a wide band near each selvedge in dark blue. Undup Iban, Sarawak.
