Vintage handwoven Red Ulos Batak Sadum decorative textile from the Lake Toba region of North Sumatra. This is a vintage ulos, handwoven using a back-strap loom and the yarns were dyed using synthetic dyes. The patterning is truly amazing, with a variety of tapestry designs. This ulos is woven very intricately with a very complex style of weaving. The colour is very vibrant and breathtaking. It has a good weight and drapes really well as a wall hanging.

A little information about ULOS BATAK. Ulos is a name given to any traditional textile from the Batak region of North Sumatra. Originally Ulos was woven for personal/family use or to give as a gift during ceremonial events. Each type of Ulos was created with special motifs and colours to match its purpose. Dark Ulos are Blacks, blues or browns that are usually used for sombre events such as funerals. However, there are a few exceptions; some of these dark ulos are also given as gifts during weddings, etc. The brightly coloured Ulos such as sedum, mangiring, etc. are mostly used during happy ceremonial events, such as weddings, births, christenings, etc.
