Visit Malaysia Year Haiku - Sarawak Pua Kumbu Poem by john tiong chunghoo

Visit Malaysia Year Haiku - Sarawak Pua Kumbu



in my hands - the dreams
between the gods and weaver
pua kumbu

borneo dayaks in the old days prayed to get images from their guardian gods afterwhich they would weave them onto their ikat, or pua kumbu.
these fabrics are sacred objects used for life and death rituals.
