Pua Woven by Selaka ak Budin of Stambak Ulu, Betong, SaribasPhotograph by Myself on 22.11.2009
(According to Mr. Vernon Kedit Jolly's Research)
Pua Penuai because it's one of the first pieces she wove. We know that it is an old piece by the evidence of the red side line. A weaver's first ten pieces are always red at their side line.
Her 11th piece can be white side line. The two Pua in the photographs with Selaka sitting down are all white side line (and higher ranking) because she wove them when she was much older.
The Pua shown above is well taken care by the Family of the Late Benedict Sandin in Bilik No. 6, Kranggan Pinggai, Paku, Saribas.

A pua kumbu woven by Esah anak Ketit, the younger sister of Sendi anak Ketit, both of whom were daughters of Mengan anak Budin Gerasi.
This pua kumbu is an example of a Saribas masterpiece, bearing the rich colour of ubong mansau ubong gaar and the semalau labang (white outermost selvedge), the mark of a master weaver.
The pattern on this pua kumbu is reserved for use during Gawai Burong, and is considered one of the nine highest ranking patterns in the Saribas.
