REMARKS COMPILED IN 1987 BY ROY HAMILTON ON BASIS OF EXISTING RECORDS, EXAMINATION OF OBJECT, AND REVIEW OF THE LITERATURE: Consists of two panels sewn together warpwise. This cloth was probably once sewn together at the ends to make a tube sarong, but it has now been opened flat and the ends have been hemmed. One selvage is also turned down and hemmed. Handspun(?) cotton thread. Probably natural and commercial dyes. Thread count: warp 56 e.p.i.; weft 32 e.p.i. From the Sikka domain, near town of Maumere in east central Flores. Photos illustrating the range of traditional Sikka motifs can be found in Kahn Majlis 1984:265-268; it would appear that this floral motif is a more recent inovation. The various steps of textile production in Sikka are illustrated in the literature, including spinning [Fischer 1979:37], dyeing [Gittinger 1979:173] and weaving [Fischer 1979:68]. For a general discussion of the distribution of Florinese weaving styles, see Maxwell 1980:141-154. Cloths in Sikka serve as family heirlooms and as marriage exchange goods. Cloths with uncut warps, as they are taken from the continuous-warp back-tension loom are the most highly valued for this purpose. Once a cloth is made into a sarong, it would serve as daily wear for many Sikkanese women; however, newer and high quality sarongs are reserved for best dress occasions, particularly attending church on Sundays. The manner of wearing these sarongs is illustrated in Gittinger 1979:59.
