REMARKS COMPILED IN 1987 BY ROY HAMILTON ON BASIS OF EXISTING RECORDS, EXAMINATION OF OBJECT, AND REVIEW OF THE LITERATURE: "Ulos ragidup" ["ragidup" = "pattern of life"]. Consists of three panels sewn together. Commercial thread and dye. This cloth shows the characteristic construction features of the classical "ragidup", including supplementary warp decoration in the narrow stripes of the lateral panels, twined border securing the fringe, and the unique joining of new warp yarns where the supplementary weft end panels are joined to the center section [see Gittinger 1975:13-15]. A similar cloth is illustrated in Gittinger 1979:plate 63. The "ulos ragidup" is the most sacred of Toba Batak "ulos". It plays many ceremonial roles, including as a gift to the bride's kin at weddings, as a gift to a woman pregnant with her first child, and as a funeral shroud. In all these cases, the giving of the "ragidup" follows channels of specific kin group relationships. "Ulos ragidup" are also worn as required dance costume in rites performed by ritual specialists called "datu", such as at the New Year's ceremonies. See Gittinger 1975:21-25 for a full description of the ceremonial uses of "ragidup" and for illustrations of their use.
