Description
Summary:This paper describes a relation between the practice of Malay food cover weaving and mathematics. The cover, known as tudung saji, is woven using a specific technique called triaxial or hexagonal weave. Its tessellated parallelograms form an illusion of three dimensional cubes that are found interesting in mathematical studies of symmetrical patterns using group theory. Some of the properties of triaxial template patterns of order n3 are also discussed in this paper
