Nice sharing
Songket limar is still thriving in Palembang, South Sumatra.
I have a many sample of rug contact me
I have something like this. It's about that diameter, maybe wider, but not as tall. It has a pattern on it. The only inscription is in the rim and looks more like a maker's name or something.
Putri Saadong a series from Malaysia 95% used Palembang limar, from this show we know that limar is no longer exist in Malaysia, revive mean you want to bring back something that's no longer around. Why can't Malaysia just be honest?
They're not honest, Wan Manang actually go to Palembang to studied which is actually "copied" the way how Palembang Malay made the limar, limar in Malaysia is actually extinct textile but in Palembang this textile making is still flourish. This is really a big question, why should go to Palembang? why not go to Thailand which is more close and more related since Terengganu and Thailand is in the same land?
Bila masa wan manang pergi palembang?
@@user-um4he6kd7l CZcams not allow me to attach the link komen terus dipadam bahkan nak sebut nama apk pun, sila layari "muka buku" John Ang berlambak process revival Limar Terengganu based on Palembang technique dibuat oleh Wan Manang, John Ang sampaikan sesuatu secara jujur tak macam sesetengah org yg sengaja sorok-sorokkan sesuatu.
@@fizzul15 tidak ketemu di google,
Thank you for sharing.Meir Martin, the Owners of the PetPeePee oriental rug cleaning from Urine odor
thank you very much for this informative presentation which has been very helpful to me in understanding this topic. God bless you and family amen
This mihrab should be in a mosque
kalau tenun kain nie pakai benang kevlar disulam dengan perak ulalalaaa kalis toreh dan tikaman kot possibility are there
Limar is mother of queen of the textile is true, cause limar is more difficult& must be carefully when ditenun. I have many motif of Limar, you can see in my channel. If you need more explanation making and rebuild ancient limar, I have knowledge about limar.
I wish i can learn how to make limar 🥲 Sayang kalau hilang
Jumpa prof Dr. Norwani
Memang hilang pun mulanya, Limar yang ada skrng pun dibuat dibuat based on Palembang technique, tak ada nilai keaslian Terengganunya
@@fizzul15lol
Kashan silk is famous And popular for sophisticated design.
Great video. it really explains the rug. By the way, the Gulbenkian Museum is fantastic--one man's beautiful collection.
is a magnificent Persian Kashan carpet (Persians they where using silk at least 500 BC the silk cocoons that Alexander the Grate send back to Stagyra to Aristoteles came from Persia not from china) there is no point of chinese influence because Persia was weaving carpets at least 1.000 years BC somthing that was not equally popular in china now trying to force elements of mexican origin obviously mexico didn't yet exist when the carpet was created!! In addition the carpet is at least large (not les than 6 m2) NOT small and the name of the country was Persia until 1979 the name iran was established after the Islamic revolution, the secrets of the collor RED is an ancient Persian secret (taken from the Phenycians known as Tyrian RED) that goes back thousands of years and at times became resson of war, the collor red was a collor only for Royals and was called by the Greeks porfyra and cld be used only by Kings & later by nobels & aristocrats a secret well kept by the Persians!!! The lotus is fruit that grows and loved in Persia for thousands of years doesn't represent China, the fight of the animals has to do with the fauna of the terrain of the Persia plateau and we see it in ancient Persian wall paintings & scalptures & has nothing to do with astrology in this case!!! Now for all the above reassons the museum curator with her "experties" she sld drop her job and go back to her home and cut onions & wash dishes, perhaps she ll do a smaller disaster there....
no. Iranian have always used name IRAN throught history. Foreiners called Iran Persia. Formally name IRAN has been used at least from mid 19th century diplomatically. therefore, the notion that name change came in 1979 is not correct.

4:00 Palembang malay women wore songket
This is ikat Limar, far superior than songket
@@asmrstreet5359 omg, you must don't know that palembang also has limar, songket limar, blongsong, tajung, these are the fabric that use the same technique ikat pakan
Because it's a Malay thing. So whenever you find the Malays, our culture thrives with us regardless of our modern borders.
@@asmrstreet5359you guys copied Limar from Palembang, Limar in semenanjung is already extinct, no one know how to weave it before wan manang studied the way to make limar from Palembang people, your comments is just disgusting.
@@mohamadasyraff9823 no, your comment is simply ignorant and indicated that "Malays are same" which is not, the "bring back existence" of Limar in Malaysia nowadays is by copying Palembang Limar technique by Wan Manang, which is you guys already lost the knowledge how your ancestors made it so it's can't be called as traditional anymore.
,وصلي اللهم وسلم على نبيك محمد وعلى آله وصحبه أجمعين
Marvelous short video about this gorgeous rug. I'll use it in a lecture for my students, for sure
I advise you to read my comments above...and use my thesis for your lecture!!!!
Great job 👌
I noticed the cruciform building has a dome, which looks to have a wooden armature within it. Is it historical?
