REMARKS COMPILED IN 1987 BY ROY HAMILTON ON BASIS OF EXISTING RECORDS, EXAMINATION OF OBJECT, AND REVIEW OF THE LITERATURE: "Tulis" or hand-drawn batik. Indigo dye. Collected during the decade prior to World War II. The following definition of "dodot" is given in Elliott 1984:32: "The dodot, made by sewing two lengths of batik together, is a prerogative of royalty; dodots are usually worn only by the sultan, a bride or groom, or dancers at the courts, and are usually of unsurpassed quality. The dodot is worn draped or folded as an overskirt, sometimes with a train of fabric handing at one side. Silk trousers are often worn underneath, with the pattern of the trousers showing in the front." See Elliott 1984:32 & 35 for illustrations of "dodot" being worn. One of the motifs is "parang" or the sword motif, adjacent to the open center field. See Elliott 1984:71 for illustration of a cloth with similar motifs.
