Hand-Selected by Judy Gula in Indonesia From the remote Indonesian island of Sumba — also known as Humba, Hubba, Suba, or Zuba — comes this extraordinary handwoven ikat wall hanging, a textile tradition steeped in ceremony, status, and ancestral storytelling. This piece features the iconic Sumbanese geometric ikat field in deep indigo and amber gold, anchored by a bold rust-red border panel showcasing the prized horse motif — a powerful symbol of nobility, wealth, and spiritual protection in Sumba culture.
