REMARKS COMPILED IN 1987 BY ROY HAMILTON ON BASIS OF EXISTING RECORDS, EXAMINATION OF OBJECT, AND REVIEW OF THE LITERATURE: Single panel of cloth, decorated with warp stripes and warp ikat stripes. This cloth was purchased by George Ellis in the Netherlands in 1969; the notes which accompanied it indicated an origin in Aceh. No ikat textiles from Aceh are depicted in the literature, but Gittinger [1979:105] briefly mentions this style of cloth.
