REMARKS COMPILED IN 1987 BY ROY HAMILTON ON BASIS OF EXISTING RECORDS, EXAMINATION OF OBJECT, AND REVIEW OF THE LITERATURE: Two similar pieces, X79.285A&
B. According to Pat Altman: this loincloth was cut in half, possibly because it had holes in the long center section. The original loincloth would have been woven in one very long piece, with supplementary weft decoration added only at the two ends. The only illustration in the literature of such a loincloth is in Kahn Majlis 1984:fig.736. Two vernacular names are given there, "p'itu" or "peo suki". The term "pio suki" given in the original accession material for this cloth is a variant. "Pio" = "loincloth". "Pio can also have a ceremonial function as they are hung out as "tombi" (="banner") at certain feasts [Nooy-Palm 1970:187].
