REMARKS COMPILED IN 1987 BY ROY HAMILTON ON BASIS OF EXISTING RECORDS, EXAMINATION OF OBJECT, AND REVIEW OF THE LITERATURE: This cloth is similar to the description of "bebali" given in Gittinger 1979:144-146, especially in the loose weave and in the use of pastel weft ikat to create stripes that are visually oriented in the warp direction. "Bebali" are token textiles for ritual use, but little more is known about them. However, the "bebali" illustrated in Gittinger [1978:plate 107] is much more precisely made than X74.309. Therefore, it is not clear whether X74.309 is a genuine "bebali" or a similarly styled secular cloth that may have been used as an article of clothing. Its gauze-like weave is similar to the "kamben cerik" cloths used as breast wrap cloths [Covarrubias 1937:197].
