Ikat finds colorful expressions in almost every traditional culture as dowry, shroud, blankets, and other status symbols of rank and privilege. Narda, a gifted Bontoc weaver, revived the tradition in the Mountain Province of Northern Philippines designing and dyeing threads in vibrant colors ranging from subtle pastels to vivid earth tones. Each piece is hand-made as they have always been long, long ago. The tradition lives on! It takes skilled hands many days to create this unique piece. Any irregular thread or markings are characteristic of handwoven ikat. Narda's is the only place in the Philippines where this ancient art is very much alive today in its contemporary versions.
