Winstedt, note that trade with India introduced silk fabricsto Malay courts, becoming the preferred choice for royal attire.Weaving a ‘limar’ story at the Museum of AsianArt in UM6/12/24, 9:01 AM Weaving a ‘limar’ story at the Museum of Asian Art in UMread://https_www.thestar.com.my/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.thestar.com.my%2Flifestyle%2Fculture%2F2024%2F06%2F10%2Fweaving-a-limar-st… 1/8Universiti Malaya's Museum of Asian Art has a collection of 78 limar textiles, mostly from Kelantanand Terengganu, each reflecting diverse decorative arts and production methods.

This tool features four pillars resembling a house frame.“The weaver sits behind the kek and uses the ‘kayu pesa’ to wind the woven fabric in front of him,”explained Zahirah, demonstrating the threading position.She also notes that limar employs the “tie and dye” technique, where the thread is dyed beforeweaving. The process involves placing the dyed thread into the kek and then raising it crosswiserepeatedly until the fabric is produced.6/12/24, 9:01 AM Weaving a ‘limar’ story at the Museum of Asian Art in UMread://https_www.thestar.com.my/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.thestar.com.my%2Flifestyle%2Fculture%2F2024%2F06%2F10%2Fweaving-a-limar-st… 3/8Exhibition curator Zahirah shows the ‘pucuk rebung’, one of the primary inspirations of the limardesign.
