REMARKS COMPILED IN 1987 BY ROY HAMILTON ON BASIS OF EXISTING RECORDS, EXAMINATION OF OBJECT, AND REVIEW OF THE LITERATURE: Consists of four panels sewn together warpwise; the two center panels are decorated by the warp ikat technique and the outer panels are plain warp stripes. Natural dyes, probably including indigo (blue), morinda (red), and a mud dyeing process (brown). According to Gittinger (1979:206): "These textiles were dyed and woven in the Rongkong and Karataun valleys, and traded to other Toraja groups for various uses. by their makers they are used as funeral shrouds, but elsewhere they are used as clothing or displayed as wall hangings at important funeral feasts." A similar cloth is illustrated in Kahlenberg 1977:56. This style of cloth apparently originates in the Karataun area, also known as Galumpang after the name of its administrative center. The people here belong to the ethnic group To Mangki, a Torajan sub-group distinct from the better known Sa'dan Toraja of central Torajaland. It can be contrasted with the Rongkong style, of which X76.1845 and X76.1851 are examples. The major differences seem to be the multiple-panel width of the Galumpang cloths and the lack of blue in the Rongkong cloths.
