In the Luzon Cordillera, Ifugao weavers are renowned for their ikat tradition. The term "ikat" refers to a weaving technique that involves tie-dyeing the warp and/or weft threads to create the base pattern of any ikat textile design. Specifically, Ifugao weavers use the warp tie-dyeing technique. This method is traditionally applied to create various designs on ritual blankets, loincloths, and wrap-around skirts, incorporating anthropomorphic, botanical, celestial, geometric, and zoomorphic motifs. According to Respicio (2014), this traditional ikat technique has also been adapted to produce contemporary textiles, such as table runners and table covers. This textile represents a contemporary interpretation of Ifugao ikat weaving techniques, featuring a checkered pattern and designed by Patis Tesoro.
