SARONG

Java, 1930s-60s

Textile

Collection of Asian Civilisation 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 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 know for their bright and colourful designs, made possible by chemical dyes imported from Europe in the 19th century. :
