REMARKS BY RENS HERINGA (1995): Lok can is a general term of Chinese origin used to refer to all the silk batiks of North Coast Java. The more specific term applied to this cloth is selendang pati. "Pati" here has a double meaning, refering to the town in Java where (together with Juana and Rembang) the cloths were made, and also to its meaning in Javanese of "dead". In the Javanese villages of the Tuban district these cloths are used as a shroud to cover a box in which a clay image of Mbok Sri, the rice goddess, is carried in procession during a festival of the agricultural cycle. The batiking was done by women of Chinese descent, and the cloths were widely marketed, including to Sumatra, where they were worn as men's scarves called kain tanah liat (tanah liat= clay, refering to the brown color that was favored in this region (as in X67.2255). In Tuban, there was a strong preference for blue tones in the motifs (as in X81.1380 and X74.273), which was considered a much more important criterion than the pattern or quality of work. This cloth dates to late 19th of early 20th century. X74.273 is a better example.
