Notes:

REMARKS BY RACHAEL GROSSMAN (1975): this is a "kawung" style, a style which was developed by Sultan Agung in the 1750s; one interpretation of the design is that it represents a cross-section of the sugar palm seed; it is a highly honored pattern and in Jogjakarta was once restricted to use by the nobility; this cloth is possibly from Pekalongan but more probably from Indramayu, where the color combination of blue and white is prevalent.
