REMARKS COMPILED IN 1987 BY ROY HAMILTON ON BASIS OF EXISTING RECORDS, EXAMINATION OF OBJECT, AND REVIEW OF THE LITERATURE: The term "sarong" used in this sense refers to a particular size and style of batik cloth [see Elliott 1984:32]. The characteristic feature is the "kepala" [="head"] or vertical band done in a pattern which contrasts with the "badan" [="body"] of the sarong. This sarong is still sewn into a tube the way it would have been worn. The tubular sarong is considered a less formal garment than the flat "kain" worn in a wrap-around fashion [Raadt-Apell 1982:80]. This sarong bears the signature of the maker and the word "Pekalongan". The signature is not easily read, but it probably belongs to one of the Chinese managed workshops. This is not unusual since the making and wearing of Pekalongan batik was largely in the hands of women of the Eurasian and Chinese communitues. The Chinese batik makers began signing their batik early in the 20th Century, a practice they adopted from the Eurasian batik makers. See Elliott 1984:128-129 for a discussion and illustrations of batik signatures.
