REMARKS COMPILED IN 1987 BY ROY HAMILTON ON BASIS OF EXISTING RECORDS, EXAMINATION OF OBJECT, AND REVIEW OF THE LITERATURE: "Dayak" is an inspecific Malay term refering to any of a number of peoples who inhabit the interior of Borneo; the accession material for this skirt does not further specify the ethnic group. Gittinger [1979:223] lists the Kelabit, Maloh, Kenyah, and Kayan as ethnic groups which produced shell-decorated textiles. This skirt is possibly from the Maloh people of West Kalimantan; for an illustration of a similar Maloh skirt, see Solyom 1984:19. The Iban also have a dancing skirt with shell and glass beadwork and bells, called "kain buri" [Palmieri & Ferentinos 1979:78]. The term "buri" apparently refers to the nassa shell beads, as jackets decorated with them are called "kalambi buri" [Kahn Majlis 1984:331]. Base fabric is handwoven(?) indigo-dyed cotton. Strips of red commercial cotton cloth, nassa shell beads, and brass bells have been applied. The nassa shells have been ground down and pierced so that they can be appliied flat to the surface of the cloth [Solyom 1984:17]. The brass beads have been recently attached (or reattached), as they are sewn on with plastic twine. The two strips of commercial cloth also seem to differ in age; the wider one underlying the beadwork is original and the brighter narrow one at the hem is probably a more recent addition. Base fabric has been indigenously patched in one place.
