I am turning my room into an auction house. The rare ikat piece you see in the photo has a mixture of 2 weaving techniques.

Starting bid $500.

damn... 500 bucks for an ikat that has 2 different ikat weaving techniques is a good price!

very rare find for an ikat like that these days, especially when almost all the master weavers of ikat (sumba islands especially) perished when the indian ocean tsunami happened.
