REMARKS COMPILED IN 1987 BY ROY HAMILTON ON BASIS OF EXISTING RECORDS, EXAMINATION OF OBJECT, AND REVIEW OF THE LITERATURE: "Kamben cepuk" with handspun cotton thread and natural dyes. "Kamben" signifies an outerwear hip wrap cloth. "Kamben cepuk" are a particular style of weft ikat cloths, well known in Bali where they are put to a variety of ceremonial uses. They are best known as part of the costume of the witch Rangda, who symbolizes evil in Balinese mythology and theater. They are also used as offerings in a ceremony for a newborn, to turn away dangerous powers from adolescents at the time of thier tooth filing ceremony, and at purification ceremonies for the dead. They additionally serve as temple decorations and offerings to devine powers. "Kamben cepuk" are generally associated with manufacture on the offshore island of Nusa Penida, although they were also made in other parts of Bali. No matter where they were made, "kamben cepuk" were valued as sacred objects all over Bali. This cloth is particularly large, with precise ikat work and unusually clear moifs. The motif configuration of this cloth strongly reflects the influence of "patola" trade cloths manufactured in Gujerat, India and highly valued in eastern Indonesia for ceremonial purposes.
