Notes: 
REMARKS COMPILED IN 1987 BY ROY HAMILTON ON BASIS OF EXISTING RECORDS, EXAMINATION OF OBJECT, AND REVIEW OF THE LITERATURE: The composition seems to be a variation of the design elements which make up Gittinger's Group 4 [Gittinger 1972:103-106], with the confronting animals similar in form to those depicted in Gittinger 1972:Plates 21-28. See entry for X76.1365 for background information on "tampan" and "pelepai" textiles from Lampung, Sumatra.
