REMARKS COMPILED IN 1987 BY ROY HAMILTON ON BASIS OF EXISTING RECORDS, EXAMINATION OF OBJECT, AND REVIEW OF THE LITERATURE: The mounted human figures seem closely related in style to the "wayang" or shadow puppet figures found on Java. These particular figures may be associated with those Gittinger characterizes with a large mouth with teeth, which she believes represent an old style [Gittinger 1972:160-162]. They appear to hold a "kris" in each hand [Gittinger 1972:160]. The raised front legs of the animals seem to be an uncommon feature in "tampan" [Gittinger 1972:172]. See entry for X76.1365 for background information on "tampan" and "pelepai" textiles from Lampung, Sumatra.
