  1. Description
Sarong :
Java, 1930s-60s
Textile :
Collection of Asian Civilisations Museum :
2007-00208

Gift of Anne Soh Gwek Shin :

This sarong would have been worn by a nyonya (Peranakan woman) under a kebaya. It features a large floral bouquet in the dark green central panel and a lattice design on the rest of the body. The design structure of a wide central panel framed by narrower borders is distinct to batik sarongs worn by the Chinese and European communities in Singapore. Nyonya-style sarongs are known for their bright and colourful designs, made posible by chemical dyes imported from Europe in the 19th century.

Long Robe :
Malacca, early-mid 20th century
Silk, metal thread
Collection of Peranakan Museum
2011-01803

This turquoise damask silk robe is richly embroidered with auspicious symbols in silk and gold thread couching on the bottom half. It features the crane at the sides which symbolises both status and longevity. This robe would have been worn by the groom.
