This shouldercloth features two ends with supplementary gold weft. The edges are woven with red thread. Such cloths were normally worn as elaborately folded headdresses which varied from locale to locale within the region. Draped over the shoulder, the cloth could also function as a shouldercloth or 'salendang.'
