Symbolising: strength, resilience and honouring hard working women.

In Sumbanese culture, women play a vital role in the community, particularly in weaving, farming, and managing households. The "habak" motif honors and symbolizes the strength, resilience, and industrious nature of these women.
This motif not only reflects the importance of women in maintaining the family's well-being but also serves as a tribute to their contributions to Sumba's cultural and economic life.
