Content/Description
Notes: 
REMARKS COMPILED IN 1987 BY ROY HAMILTON ON THE BASIS OF EXISTING RECORDS, EXAMINATION OF OBJECTS, AND REVIEW OF THE LITERATURE: Cloth consisting of two pieces sewn together, warpwise. Collected during the decade prior to World War II. "Tumpal" (triangle motif) border in ikat. "Nduk" or "endek" is the Balinese name for weft ikat cloths used as sarongs. Local silk industry produced these cloths before World War II. Beginning in the 1970s this style of cloth, now made of cotton or synthetics, has become very popular for everyday sarongs. This piece may be a sarong fragment, due to its short length.
