One of the galleries in Merdeka Textile Museum contains a silat artwork image composed by artist Ahmad Zakii Anwar. The Sacred and Spiritual themed gallery is about the ways in which the Malay World use textiles to express sacredness and spirituality. In this pod, it is about how the old Malay manuscript, Hikayat Hang Tuah describes a fighting scene whereby Hang J***t keeps himself from bleeding with a gold threaded cloth. The Hikayat Hang Tuah manuscript is a rare and old original copy that is loaned to the Museum from the Royal Professor Ungku Aziz Trust.
