Identifying the traditional natural red dyes from Malay songket artefact sources, material characteristics and their state of degradation is important when preserving the songket artefacts. Three particular approaches were used to identify the natural dye's songket artefact through phase 1: a preliminary study, phase 2: scientific analyses and phase 3: experimentation.
