American engagement at the Garrick

Commercial Museum shows not only
these cloths, but the looms on which
they are made.
Another class of fabric of even
greater beauty than the rabannas are
the lambas, made of silk, both in the
natural tint and in various colors'
and showing designs of striking his
torical interest. These silk garments
are naturally more expensive than the
rabannas, are worn by well-to-do per
sons and are especially treasured for
burial garments. Those displayed IN
the Commercial Museum average
rather more than seven feet in length
and from five feet to six feet in width.
They are made generally Of two or
more narrow strips sewed together
lengthwise, as the native looms do not
admit of weaving strips more than 81
inches wide.
While many of these lambas show
only conventional lozenge patterns
those of better workmanship almost
always indicate the origin of such de-
signs from an early bird and tree par
tern, symbolizing the tree of life ana
going back apparently to folklore ana
beliefs that antedate both the Mohanf
medan and Christian eras.
