Notes:
REMARKS COMPILED IN 1987 BY ROY HAMILTON ON BASIS OF EXISTING RECORDS, EXAMINATION OF OBJECT, AND REVIEW OF THE LITERATURE: The confronting animals are extremely stylized; their tails can be seen curving over their backs while their necks are joined together, thier heads are no longer evident [see Gittinger 1972:103-106, Plates 22-28]. See entry for X76.1365 for background information on "tampan" and "pelepai" textiles from Lampung, Sumatra.
