Ngepan Indu Iban - What Accessories I wore for BHF 2011

Ngepan Indu Iban (Part 3)
 
Kain Kebat & Tali Buri
 

Now I am going to introduce to you Kain kebat (skirt) and Tali Buri (belt adorned with frog bells).

The Ibans are known for their talent in weaving the Pua Kumbu and kain kebat is one of the pua kumbu products. I am not quite sure what motif my kain kebat is but what I am sure of is that it was made by my great grandmother. 

Pua kumbu making is not an easy task. Even though the cloth looks simple but the process of making the pua kumbu is like going to a "war path" to the weavers. Each weaver must be skilled from preparing the threads, loom and ofcourse weaving itself.  


Next is, Tali Buri: Basically, tali buri is made by linking threads and beads of myriad colours and also some cowrie shells. The frog bells are made of brass and attached at the ends of the bead strings for sound.
