This Noken is made from tree bark. Noken from wood bark itself comes in two types, namely yellow and cream. The noken above is a brown type of noken. The bark in question is the bark of the mencau tree which is usually found in the mountains. This bark is taken from the tree and then cleaned using a knife. Then, dry it for one week to get good fiber quality. After that, the fiber is taken and spun manually with hands and feet. Then, the fibers will become thread and then woven to become a noken from bark.
