REMARKS COMPILED IN 1987 BY ROY HAMILTON ON BASIS OF EXISTING RECORDS, EXAMINATION OF OBJECT, AND REVIEW OF THE LITERATURE: Purchased in Telukbetung. The birds tentatively identified as representative of the hornbill family (Bucerotidae), distinguished in the "tampan" by the angular scrolls emerging from the sides of the animal, the triangular protuberance between the legs, and the tail curved over the back [Gittinger 1972:167-168]. Similar representations can be traced through a broad geographical region, indicating that some designs were not regional specialties but known through the entire area [Gittinger 1972:96]. See entry for X76.1365 for background information on "tampan" and "pelepai" textiles from Lampung, Sumatra.
