REMARKS COMPILED IN 1987 BY ROY HAMILTON ON BASIS OF EXISTING RECORDS, EXAMINATION OF OBJECT, AND REVIEW OF THE LITERATURE: "Prada" refers to the Balinese art of glueing gold leaf to the surface of a cloth. The cloth itself is silk, patterned with a figured ground. The pattern weaving technique is identified by Mary Jane Leland as 2/2 twill on plain weave, with probable origin in China. The gold leaf would have been applied in Bali. The Balinese use such cloths primarily as dance costume and also as ceremonial clothing for personal rituals such as tooth filings and weddings. A cloth of this size, called a "selendang", would be used as a breast wrapper by women or as a sash by women or men. "Prada" cloths can also be hung on temple exteriors for special ooccasions or burned at cremation ceremonies (Gittinger 1979:141). Collected during the decade prior to World War II.
