REMARKS COMPILED IN 1987 BY ROY HAMILTON ON BASIS OF EXISTING RECORDS, EXAMINATION OF OBJECT, AND REVIEW OF THE LITERATURE: One panel of cloth; half of a "hinggi" or man's hip or shoulder wrap. A complete "hinggi" consists of two identical panels sewn together warpwise. The warp threads of the two panels are tied and dyed together, but must be woven separately due to the width limitations of the back tension loom. Machine(?) spun 2-ply cotton yarn. Natural(?) dyes; Morinda citrifolia for red and indigo for blue. Traditionally, multi-colored "hinggi" were the prerogative of noble clans. They served as clan heirlooms and were exchanged with allied clans at weddings and funerals. They were worn by men on ceremonial occasions and were used as funeral shrouds. This cloth probably dates from the "Expansion Period", 1913-1942 [Adams 1969:96], when large numbers of cloths were produced to meet the demands of external trade. It evidences features characteristic of this period, such as simplified motifs and the absence of specialized finishing techniques.
