Content/Description
Notes:
REMARKS COMPILED IN 1987 BY ROY HAMILTON ON BASIS OF EXISTING RECORDS, EXAMINATION OF OBJECT, AND REVIEW OF THE LITERATURE: The term "sarong" used in this sense refers to a particular size and style of batik cloth [Elliott 1984:32]. The characteristic feature is the "kepala" [="head], a vertical section with a motif which contrasts with the motif of the "badan" [="body]. The style of this cloth is characteristic of batik from the town of Pekalongan on the North Coast of Java. From the original accession information: Circa 1925; good example of early aniline dye batik.
