The contemporary silk pua kumbu from Sarawak aroused a lot of interest amongst visitors at the exhibition held at the National Institute of Design (NID) in Ahmedabad, Gujarat. Although India has a heritage of ikat weaving, and Patan in Gujarat is the home of the famous double-ikat weaving, people were astonished to see such fine warp-ikat weaving in the pua kumbu, said Sarawak Atelier Society president Edric Ong, who represented Sarawak at the exhibition. Ong is also a famous artist. Besides the ceremonial pua kumbu, other exhibited Iban textile included antique pieces of jackets, skirts and contemporary silk hangings. The exhibition in Gujarat organised by Textile Art and Fashion Forum (TAFF) included a talk on Iban textiles which was well attended by faculty lecturers, students and the public. Ong said this was the second time he exhibited Iban Textiles in India. He had previously exhibited the Iban Textiles collection in New Delhi with the DelhiCrafts Council and at the Andhra Pradesh State Art Gallery in Hyderabad.
