Discover Islamic Art: Ikat Limar, The Forgotten Royal Textile

Malay limar was once regarded as the finest and most valuable textile of Southeast Asia, often used for the royal court and high nobility. Our Partner, the Islamic Museum of Malaysia spotlights the history of the highly sophisticated Malay limar textiles and the few weavers who are keeping the forgotten tradition alive.

@@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.

[@fizzul15]

@@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.

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?

[@fizzul15]

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?
