This sarong is known as a bang-biru sarong due to the colour combination of dark blue and red present on the cloth. The front panel of the sarong is decorated with a triangle motif known as the tumpal motif. The main body of the sarong is decorated by pheasants and flowers. Batik sarongs were worn by Peranakan Chinese in the Strait Settlements and Indonesia as a skirt to accompany a top known as a kebaya.
