My favorite object would be the textiles from the Material World of Southeast Asia. These vibrantly coloured textiles are extremely eye catching. Especially with their beautiful fine detailing. The embroidery is not only for decorative purposes but also for ceremonies and ritual observances. As you step closer to take a closer look, the fabric patterns contain powerful protective images used in the many cultures and religions.

You would also see a different perspective on textiles from a time where everything was handmade and there were no machines to help aid the creations of these complicated pieces. It was amazing to admire the creativity and hard work of the people long past.

There was also interesting lighting, where the museum was dark and the lighting focused on the textiles. One can focus on the vivid patterns more clearly.

There were also Southeast Asian gold jewelry, textiles and metal work in the Asian Civilisations Museum collection. The gold jewellery are exquisite examples of Javanese goldwork, and were probably made during the time where technical sophistication reached its peak. which could explain the fine detailing on the two gold rings.
