REMARKS COMPILED IN 1987 BY ROY HAMILTON ON BASIS OF EXISTING RECORDS, EXAMINATION OF OBJECT, AND REVIEW OF THE LITERATURE: The anthropomorphic motif depicted on this cloth, a female figure with flower headdress, is called "tjili" [modern spelling = "cili"]. Associated with the "Rice Mother" goddess, it is common in various Balinese art forms, including doll-like figures, "lemak" palm leaf temple festival decorations, and textiles [Covarrubias 1937:170]. However, there are no illustrations in the literature of this motif being executed in weft ikat. It is probable that a cloth of this type would be used for decorative purposes at festive occasions.
