Before she was married, Mother Brayut (center) was very skilled weaver of all kinds of traditional Balinese textiles. However, caring for the eighteen children which she gave birth to exhausted her and left little time for practicing this art. With her spinning wheel and thread holder nearby, Mother Brayut suckles a child at each breast while others pick out lice from her hair, fight, or continue to bother her in the Brayutfolktale.Formerly owned by Walter Spies (Germany) gift of Dr. Jacob Vredenbreght (Jakarta, Indonesia)
