Aluk, man's ceremonial bag. Timor

$1.00

Timorese men know how to keep up appearances. If you don’t believe me, take a good look at these men’s bags in my collection. They are cute, coquettish, stylish, colorful and intricatedly made. They are used by Timorese men to keep their belongings when they visit the weekly market or attend important ceremonies. Maybe I should carry one of them when I walk down Orchard Road one day! Various ethnic groups in Timor island also produce some of Indonesia’s most beautiful traditional textiles.
