Golden Woven Fabrics of Brunei Darussalam
by Dr. Siti Norkhalbi Binti Haji Wahsalfelah
Kain Tenunan Brunei is an old but living and evolving textile tradition that is conspicuously consumed by the people of Brunei. It is worn as clothing, displayed as art, and used in a plethora of other paraphemalia in social and state functions. As a part of modern Brunei identity, the significance of kain tenunan Brunei goes beyond its use as clothing and ornamentation. While Kain Tenunan Brunei continues to be produced today, its sustainability is heavily dependent on local consumption. Kain tenunan Brunei is divided into numerous different types, patterns, designs and motifs, which are compiled and illustrated in this book. The book further discusses the sources that inspire designs and motifs of kain tenunan Brunei.
