For the doubles ikat, or grinsing, wire of the chain and screen are tinted before being woven. The fixing of the packages of wire on the axes of the screen and the chain requires large a precision.

They manufactures them only in the village of Tengganan Pageringsing in the mountains of the south-east of the island of Bali .

For this work, one installs all wire of the screen side by side on a framework of the dimension of the part to be carried out.

The legend wants that traditionally, human blood is used to dye.

Gring results in “Disease”, Sing by “Not”. It becomes what pushes back the disease.

The reasons for the gringsings are divided into two groups:

The wire are divided into packages of six, eight or even of ten, according to the reason which one plans to carry out

The wire, are put “in reserve”. One makes use of fibres of the sheets of palm(or other similar matters) impermeable to the dyeing, to attach together the packages of wire, which are then dyed.

Initially reasons made up of circles or squares, vegetable forms whose ends are often decorated reason tupal (form of architectural origin related to the Buddhism and used like reliquary). They let foresee the influence of the Indian textiles patola (area of Guarjat , India ).

The operations of fasteners and steeping in the colours are repeated as much once than there are different colours

The wire are demolished their bonds.

These reasons can be of four colours: dark red, dark, black chestnut on bottom ochre-beige and white. An attentive examination reveals the true direction of the composition in which one discovers with surprised integrated figures in a complex way: scorpions, fish, gate vaults and offerings.

The wire apparaisent tinted.

Once the packages of demolished wire, we assembles them on the weaving loom.

The whole surface of fabric is covered with tiny stars which connect the whole in a very sophisticated syncretism symbolism.

Weaving is carried out

After a long and tiresome work, the part is ready for its role in the Balinese society.

Mysterious and magic fabrics, at the present time 2 or 3 artists women still control this Article.

It has a central role in the profane and spiritual life: birth, filing of the teeth, disease, protection, marriage, cremation… .

In the second group, are intègrés extremely complicated reasons which suppose a very great ability in the implementation of the techniques of reserve, for dyeing like in weaving.

Their direction symbolic system is of order cosmological; they describe groups of characters, sitting, of profile, inside a mandala (chart of spiritual anatomy of the man explaining how to penetrate inside its centers of energy will chakra).

They are composed of 12,24,36, characters inside a series of medallions, connected by a star to four points, whose center is a square which forms the mandala.

The panels of the ends of the gringsing “wayang kebo” are in sonket, technique additional out of gold wire.
