REMARKS BY MARY JANE LELAND (1990): This piece is "ordinary" only in the sense that it was probably for everyday use. My appraisal is that it is a piece of very traditional weaving, probably a selendang. White yarns are very finely spun, but still handspun, possibly bleached. The white yarn appears to be the same as the red. These cloths are sometimes referred to as "Bali aga" or cloths that get used up (in everyday use). Such cloth appears to be "unusual" to us today because it was not collected and published in the literature as were the "spectaculars."
