Context (Production / use)
Bought in Serikin, a Bidayuh bazaar at the border of Indonesian Kalimantan (Kalimantan Barat) and Malaysian Sarawak. Made for sale by Jagoi-Babang Bidayuhs (officially known in Indonesia as ‘Dayak’) near the border in Kalimantan Barat. Serikin is a popular bazaar catering to Sarawakians and visitors from West Malaysia. It is an important source of woven objects – especially mats – from Dayak villages in next-door Kalimantan Barat. Their makers are culturally and historically very similar to the Sarawak Bidayuh, speaking the same dialect (Jagoi) and making the same objects, including others commonly made and found across Sarawak.
