Songket sales booth at the ASEAN Songket exhibition in Muzium Negara

Peace be upon you all. Detouring for a while to a recent happening in Kuala Lumpur.


Muzium Negara (the national museum) recently started an exhibition on ASEAN songket, a type of elaborately woven cloth which can be found in South-East Asian countries.




The exhibition would last till the end of the year, Booths are opened for sales of the songket.

I was involved in the official opening ceremony of the exhubition held on Tuesday. So I spent some time looking at what's available...











 
It was definitely a feast for the eyes.

















Too bad as it that was all I could afford to do. The songket here are exquisite works of art. It could cost quite a fortune for one to even acquire a piece...
