REMARKS COMPILED IN 1987 BY ROY HAMILTON ON BASIS OF EXISTING RECORDS, EXAMINATION OF OBJECT, AND REVIEW OF THE LITERATURE: "Selimut" or man's hip or shoulder wrap. Consists of two panels sewn together warpwise. Handspun(?) cotton thread. Natural dyes, Morinda citrifolia for red overdyed with indigo for black. For a discussion of Savunese textiles see Fox 1977a:97-100. A range of Savunese "selimut" are illustrated in Majlis 1984: 279 and in Gittinger 1979:187. For two photos illustrating the manner of wearing a Savunese "selimut", see Fox 1977b:86 & 123. From accompanying notes: Mid 20th century. The two panels of this cloth differ slightly in width to allow for an uneven number of motif stripes in the pattern; this is a characteristic feature of Savunese "selimut" [Gittinger 1979:187]. Color and design features of Savunese textiles served to identify the moiety and subgroup of the wearer. Cloths were used in a variety of ritual situations, particularly marriage and funerary exchange. The following information is from Gaworski 1971:100: "When an important person died, a horse was sometimes "sent" along to aid him in his journeys after death. The dead man's family provided a "selimut" to be placed across the horse's back and a friend of the deceased was invited to ride the horse to the graveside, where it was sacrificed. To be chosen as the rider was a great honor and after the ceremony the friend would keep the weaving that had been on the horse as a remembrance or keepsake of the dead man.
