The Metropolitan Museum of Art Sumatran Sunburst Rectangular Frame
Our geometric lacquer frame recalls the celestial ornament on a beautiful late 19th-early 20th century Indonesian ceremonial mat, or lampit, in The Met collection. Crescent moons are suspended alongside birds in flight to suggest the timeless relationship between Indonesia's elite rulers and the universe's cosmic order. Designed for spiritual leaders who presided over important ritual gatherings, such refined mats were woven from finely split cane fibers and adorned with burnt patterns made with a heated stylus.
