Bokong is a remote village on the south coast of west Timor in the region of Amanatun. This beautiful tais or woman's sarong is made using natural dyed cotton and silk threads. The pattern is called buna and is a supplementary technique. Individual weft threads are wrapped around the length-wise warp threads producing a pattern. The motif is called teke or gecko. It took 18 months to complete this textile due to this time consuming weaving process. This is the first time that the community has sold a textile commercially. (Threads of Life)
