Jlamprang

Pekalongan, north coast of Java

Rings and many-pointed stars on a tight grid, related to the Indian patola cloth that Gujarati traders brought to Java. Geometry without living figures.

Pekalongan’s signature pattern, worn widely and celebrated each year at the city’s Jlamprang festival.

Cincin dan bintang bersudut banyak pada kisi rapat, berkerabat dengan kain patola India yang dibawa pedagang Gujarat ke Jawa. Geometri tanpa sosok makhluk hidup.
