Sarong tuaha

This plain black cotton sarong was worn primarily during the funeral. It would have been paired with a simple black kebaya and often worn with dark coloured beaded slippers. The use of dark colours would extend beyond the funeral, often for the whole three year mourning period. Sarongs were worn by Peranakan Chinese in the Strait Settlements and Indonesia as a skirt to accompany a top known as a kebaya.
