REMARKS COMPILED IN 1987 BY ROY HAMILTON ON BASIS OF EXISTING RECORDS, EXAMINATION OF OBJECT, AND REVIEW OF THE LITERATURE: Single panel of cloth, decorated with supplementary weft, beadwork, metal bells, and a band near each end executed in a wrapped warp tapestry technique. This cloth very closely matches the description of a "parompa sadum" given in Gittinger 1975:28. The cloth described is from the Angkola Batak people. "Parompa" are the class of "ulos" used as a carrying sling for children. This cloth contains an inscription woven in supplementary weft. Rodgers-Siregar [1980:97] describes such inscriptions in the textiles of the Angkola Batak in the Sipirok area of the Tapanuli Highlands.
