he State-Owned Enterprises' Indonesian Pavilion has been a huge draw at the 2018 Annual Meetings of the International Monetary Fund and World Bank Group in Nusa Dua, Bali, with various traditional Indonesian arts and crafts that were made by the ministry’s mentored partners put on display.
The cloths need three months to be woven and two months to color, on average.
“All of these cloths are woven and colored in a traditional manner. We still use natural coloring agents, such as roots, leaves, fruits, tree bark skins and many more,” Rosvita added.
Other than cloths, the Maumere woven textiles are also used in other products, such as wallets, card holders and shawls.
