REMARKS COMPILED IN 1987 BY ROY HAMILTON ON BASIS OF EXISTING RECORDS, EXAMINATION OF OBJECT, AND REVIEW OF THE LITERATURE: Purchased in Telukbetung, Lampung Province [Entwhistle 1974:8]. This cloth is almost identical to Gittinger's Plate 61, which she refers to as the red ship style. She maintains that the red ship style developed from a particular design series found in "tampan", with a ship carrying three architectural structures as a common theme [Gittinger 1972:115-122]. See entry for X76.1365 for background information on "tampan" and "pelepai" textiles from Lampung, Sumatra.
