Notes:
REMARKS COMPILED IN 1987 BY ROY HAMILTON ON BASIS OF EXISTING RECORDS, EXAMINATION OF OBJECT, AND REVIEW OF THE LITERATURE: "Kain panjang" [= long cloth] used as a wrap-around skirt. "Cap" batik, or batik on which the wax was applied with a metal stamp. The floral motifs and the asymmetrical border, very wide at one end, suggest a point of origin on the North Coast of Java.
