REMARKS COMPILED IN 1987 BY ROY HAMILTON ON BASIS OF EXISTING RECORDS, EXAMINATION OF OBJECT, AND REVIEW OF THE LITERATURE: One long ikat panel. Handspun(?) cotton. Natural dyes, probably including, morinda (red) and a mud dyeing process (brown). The vernacular name "ma'aa sekkomande" is from the original accession material. "Ma'aa" is a variant of the Torajan term (also represented as "maa'" or "mawa'") designating a ritual cloth; however, it is usually applied to painted cloths rather than ikat cloths. A cloth similar to X76.1851 is illustrated in Spertus & Holmgren 1977:58, identified as "sekomandi". The following information is from Gittinger 1979:206: "These textiles [Torajan ikats] were dyed and woven in the Rongkong and Karataun valleys, and traded to other Toraja groups for various uses. By their makers they are used as funeral shrouds, but elsewhere they are used as clothing or displayed as wall hangings at important funeral feasts." The following information from Crystal 1979:60 seems to relate more specifically to the style of X76.1851: "To the northeast [from central Torajaland] in Luwu regency lies the region known as Rongkong. From this area come the long, narrow ikats in black, rust and white which are used as ceremonial hut decorations during large Toraja funerals." The people of this area belong to an ethnic group known as To Rokong, a Torajan sub-group distinct from the better known Sa'dan Toraja who inhabit central Torajaland.
