REMARKS COMPILED IN 1987 BY ROY HAMILTON ON BASIS OF EXISTING RECORDS, EXAMINATION OF OBJECT, AND REVIEW OF THE LITERATURE: A complete "hinggi" consists of two identical panels sewn together lengthwise. The warp threads of the two panels are tied and dyed together, but must be woven separately due to the width limitations of the back tension loom. X61.5 and X61.6 are a matched pair of panels, which would be sewn together to make a complete "hinggi". Collected during the decade prior to World War II. Traditionally, multi-colored "hinggi" were the prerogative of noble clans. They served as clan heirlooms and were exchanged with allied clans at marriages and funerals. They were worn by men at ceremonial occasions and used as funeral shrouds. However, this cloth was collected during the "Expansion Period", 1913-1942 [Adams 1969:96], when production increased to meet the demands of external trade. It evidences features characteristic of this period, such as simplified motifs and the absence of specialized finishing techniques. The major motif band has alternating shrimp and tree motifs. Other motifs include horses, buffalo(?), roosters(?) and small snakes.
