REMARKS COMPILED IN 1987 BY ROY HAMILTON ON BASIS OF EXISTING RECORDS, EXAMINATION OF OBJECT, AND REVIEW OF THE LITERATURE: Two panels of cloth sewn together; intended to be a sarong, sewn closed at the ends into a tube. An older style of Balinese sarong, with simple motifs in metallic yarn supplementary weft on a small plaid ground. The high quality perhaps indicates that this was a sarong for special occasions or worn as a dance costume.
