REMARKS COMPILED IN 1987 BY ROY HAMILTON ON BASIS OF EXISTING RECORDS, EXAMINATION OF OBJECT, AND REVIEW OF THE LITERATURE: The baseline of the main design field represents a ship [see Gittinger 1972: 133-134, Plate 21]. The confronting birds are stylized representations of members of the hornbill family (Bucerotidae), distinguished by angular scrolls emerging from the body and the tail curved over the back. An additional characteristic, a triangular protuberance between the legs, is absent in this example [Gittinger 1972:167-168, Plates 1-8]. See entry for X76.1365 for background information on "tampan" and "pelepai" textiles from Lampung, Sumatra.
