Notes:
REMARKS COMPILED IN 1987 BY ROY HAMILTON ON BASIS OF EXISTING RECORDS, EXAMINATION OF OBJECT, AND REVIEW OF THE LITERATURE: Two identical pieces, X61.43 & X61.44. From the small island of Nusa Penida, offshore from Bali. Probably intended to be sewn together selvage to selvage to make a sarong. Collected during the decade prior to World War II. Assigned to Nusa Penida on the basis of the original accession notes; this plain striped cloth is non-traditional and differs from the "kamben cepuk" motif usually associated with Nusa Penida.
