Kelambu Naga Hook Set

Kelambu is a mosquito net curtain commonly found in tropical islands, used to protect sleepers from mosquitoes and other insects. In Javanese tradition, the kelambu is often paired with decorative hooks that hold the net open, allowing airflow while keeping insects out. These kelambu mosquito net hooks feature intricate dragon carvings and are designed for use over a bed or seating area. Beyond their practical purpose, they carry deep cultural significance and are often associated with traditional ceremonies and rituals. In particular, they are used to adorn ceremonial beds during weddings, blending functionality with symbolic and ceremonial importance.
