Cap

Note: The following text is taken from a 19th-century collection catalog and, in its language and perspective, partially reflects colonial thought patterns. We present the text in its original version to make the collection's history transparent and promote a critical examination of the colonial legacy. Certain terms and formulations may be perceived as problematic today. A 2009 research project concluded that most descriptions are factually correct and still usable; only a few details were found to be inaccurate or incorrect. The results of this project were published in the following collection catalog: khm-wmw-tm-library.on.worldcat.org/oclc/1457155265"314. Cap - "Songko-djala-djala".A cap with a similar form woven from very fine, split rattan in a very delicate manner. The weaving is, however, not so dense as it is with the previous ones, but results in a coarser meshwork. The cap is painted on the outside with shiny black resin."Translation of: Czurda, F. A. J.
