content: Collector's notes, written on tag attached to object: [referring to all 3 parts-- jacket, shirt, and sash] "Pyuma tribe, Taitung Hsein, East Taiwan (Formosa). Man's jacket, shirt, and sash. Worn for special occasions, such as dances... A delicate cross stitch on black material. Note that this kind of work resembles some Paiwan needlework, but is not so fancy. The sash fringe, thread, and cloth is from trade sources... A traditional style, but probably [made] no more than 30 years ago [i.e. 1936]... Here again, we could be wrong, since such garments were often carefully preserved..."
