REMARKS COMPILED IN 1987 BY ROY HAMILTON ON BASIS OF EXISTING RECORDS, EXAMINATION OF OBJECT, AND REVIEW OF THE LITERATURE: Consists of two panels sewn together warpwise. This cloth was probably once sewn together at the ends to make a tube sarong, but it has now been opened flat and hemmed at both warp ends and one selvage. Handspun(?) cotton thread. Natural dyes: Morinda citrifolia for red-brown and indigo for blue-black. The yellow and green stripes may be commercial dye, but dyers in Sikka are also capable of making bright colors with natural dyes, such as a bright green from mango bark [Roy Hamilton, field notes, 1985]. Thread count: warp 56 e.p.i. (double yarn); weft 25 e.p.i. From the Sikka domain, near the town of Maumere in east central Flores. Photos illustrating the range of traditional Sikka motifs can be found in Majlis 1984:265-268; it would appear that this floral motif is a more recent inovation. The various steps of textile production in Sikka are illustrated in the literature, including spinning [Fischer 1979:37], dyeing [Gittinger 1979:173] and weaving [Fischer 1979:68]. For a general discussion of the distribution of Florinese weaving styles, see Maxwell 1980:141-154. Cloths in Sikka serve as family heirlooms and as marriage exchange goods. Cloths with uncut warps, as they are taken from the continuous-warp back-tension loom are the most highly valued for this purpose. Once a cloth has been made into a sarong, it would serve as daily wear for many Sikkanese women; however, newer and high quality sarongs are reserved for best dress occasions, particularly attending church on Sundays. The manner of wearing these sarongs is illustrated in Gittinger 1979:59.
