content: An appraisal in the accession file says: "A Javanese hand-batik textile from the Pekalongan region which is on the North Coast of Java. This kain panjang is worn by women. This design concept, creating contrast by making half of the textile a light color, and the other dark, gave rise to the name 'pagi-sore' meaning 'morning evening'. The light half was to be worn at night, the dark half to be worn for day."
