Description:
Songket, aptly dubbed Malaysia's "Cloth of Gold", is a proud legacy of the courts of Kelantan and Pattani. Richly woven with gold or silver thread, it was the dramatic consequence of the region's early trade with China (from whence came the silk) and India (the gold and silver threads). This fabric, once exclusive to royalty, is usually used today for formal and ceremonial occasions such as weddings and convocations.
