Songket, a rich luxurious ceremonial fabric woven at one time for the exclusive use of the local royalty, is today organized as a cottage industry in Eastern Malaysia that produces the fabric exclusively for use at weddings and state functions. In this pioneering study of songket, Selvanayagam provides a fascinating historical survey of the cloth, including its uses, weaving techniques, design structure, and offers a full description of the complex register of motifs and patterns ornamenting the surface.
