Kain limar is a traditional fabric produced by the Malay people in Sumatra and Malaysia. It is made using a sophisticated technique of tie-resist dyed weft, known as weft ikat. The design format echoes that of the Indian saree, but the motifs are typical of Southeast Asia. The central patterns feature floral designs in yellow, red, blue, and green on a deep purple background, peppered with star-like yellow crosses. The borders showcase an elaborately decorative triangular motif known as tumpal.
