REMARKS COMPILED IN 1987 BY ROY HAMILTON ON BASIS OF EXISTING RECORDS, EXAMINATION OF OBJECT, AND REVIEW OF THE LITERATURE: Consists of three panels sewn together warpwise. Was once sewn together along the ends to form a tube shaped sarong; this seam has been opened to lay the textile flat. Handspun cotton thread. Natural dyes; Morinda citrifolia for red, overdyed with indigo for black. Thread count: warp 60 e.p.i. (single yarn); weft 30 e.p.i. Part of a collection which was, as far as is known, entirely collected in the 1930s. From the Ende region, centered on the town of Ende on the south coast of central Flores. A common motif configuration for Endenese sarongs, characterized by the two plain black bands [Maxwell 1980:146; see illustrations in Maxwell 1980:151 and Kahn Majlis 1984:261. For a general discussion of the distribution of Florinese textile styles, see Maxwell 1980:141-154.
