6 Dyeing rattan stripes black

with leaves from the Tibangu tree and iron-rich mud or iron filings
Before the trainer, Ibu Hangin Bang, had showed to a group of plaiters how to boil iron filings together with Tibangu leaves, the dyeing could take up to three days or more. With the iron filings the rattan turns into a deep black colour in two to three hours.
For plaiting traditional patterns in baskets and bags, half of the length of the rattan stripes is packed in plastic to keep them white, while the other half is immersed into the broth and turns black.
