REMARKS COMPILED IN 1987 BY ROY HAMILTON ON BASIS OF EXISTING RECORDS, EXAMINATION OF OBJECT, AND REVIEW OF THE LITERATURE: Made of commercial cotton cloth, beaded and appliqued with felt. Used for holding sword; worn slung across one shoulder and down chest where it is tied at waist. Symbol of rank. The culture and area attributions are those given in the accession material. The term "Western Toraja" is sometimes used in the ethnographic literature to describe groups living far to the north of the Sa'dan Toraja in Central Sulawesi province; however, if the assignation to Mamassa District is correct, this piece is from the Mamassa Toraja, western neighbors to the Sa'dan Toraja in South Sulawesi province.
