REMARKS COMPILED IN 1987 BY ROY HAMILTON ON BASIS OF EXISTING RECORDS, EXAMINATION OF OBJECT, AND REVIEW OF THE LITERATURE: Length of cloth with gauze-like weave. Vernacular name "kamben cerik" [spelling modernized] taken from Covarrubias 1937:197, where he describes "open-work scarfs worn by the woman around the breasts for feasts". Similar cloths are now worn tightly wrapped around the torso as part of a woman's dance costume or even as part of everyday dress by older, more conservative woman.
