REMARKS COMPILED IN 1987 BY ROY HAMILTON ON BASIS OF EXISTING RECORDS, EXAMINATION OF OBJECT, AND REVIEW OF THE LITERATURE: "Songket" refers to the Indonesian technique of supplementary weft weaving with metallic thread. A piece like this could be used as a waist cloth or as decoration for ceremonial occasions. Has been lined for support due to deteriorating condition. Collected during the decade prior to World War II.
