Double issue of the Needle and Bobbin Club Bulletin (Vol. 55, Nos. 1 & 2, 1972) devoted mainly to Monni Adams's field report on East Sumba ikat textiles. The article covers the men's hinggi cloths, their warp-ikat tying, dyeing with indigo and mengkudu rust, lining-up and weaving on a frameless two-beam loom. It also treats design motifs (skull trees, horses, deer, patola ratu), royal patronage and gift exchange, and changes in style through the 20th century. Many photographs show museum cloths, craft processes and related engraved objects. The issue also has book notes on printed and dyed textiles and chintz, notes on authors, club notes, an In Memoriam and advertisements.
