REMARKS COMPILED IN 1987 BY ROY HAMILTON ON BASIS OF EXISTING RECORDS, EXAMINATION OF OBJECT, AND REVIEW OF THE LITERATURE: Probably a "selimut" or man's hip or shoulder wrap, although it is shorter than Rotinese "selimut" illustrated in the literature [Gittinger 1979:186]. Natural dyes; Morinda citrifolia for red overdyed with indigo for black. For discussions of Rotinese textiles, see Fox 1977:97-104 and Fox 1980:39-55. The motifs of Rotinese cloths identify the wearer by locality, class and status. This "selimut" has floral designs similar to the "dula nggeo" (="black motif") which identifies a noblewoman's cloth [Gittinger 1979:186]. Both this motif and the general layout of the pattern, including the "tumpal" border, show the influence of "patola" cloths traded to Indonesia from Gujerat in colonial times. For an illustration of Rotinese costume, see Gittinger 1979:184.
