The Alune speak a language of Malayo Polynesian origin. It is also known as Sapalewa or Patasiwa Alfoeren and it has a few dialects, despite the small number of speakers. The most prestigious dialect is the Rambatu way of speaking. Like the ancient human groups living in interior Seram, the Alune traditionally lived off forest products. Their diet was based on the sago palm and they also practiced shifting cultivation . Both men and women wore little clothing because of the humid environment. In daily life the Alune adults had a short loincloth from the waist down made of bark fibre, similar to the Polynesian culture Polynesian Tapa cloth tapa cloth. This loincloth reached above the knees and it often had decorative patterns. On special occasions Alune men wore elaborate warrior clothes and carried long swords.

Bahag refers to the loincloth which was commonly used throughout the Philippines before the arrival of European colonizers, and which is used by some indigenous tribes of the Philippines today most notably the Igorot Cordillerans in Northern Luzon . It is basically a hand loomed piece of long cloth that is wrapped around a man s middle. The design of the weave is often unique to the tribe of the person wearing the Bahag, much like the Celtic Tartan s were. Modern bahags have since found their way to the lowlands as table runners, serviettes, and other decor and fashion accoutrements.

It designates clothing articles of various shapes and forms towels, tablecloth, aprons and even bed sheets. Upon certain authorities, its origins go way back and would take roots in India , before it even appears, in the 18th century during the Mediterranean expansion. The name Fouta was given to a Moroccan desert Berber people Berber tribe piece of clothing which was worn knotted. It was seamless and belonged to the family of loincloth. Tied around the belly, The Fouta became directly linked to the notion of fecundity . The combination of the contrasting stripes and the Knot gives a double symbolic power to the Fouta because it allows keeping the body decently clothed and free moving, strong symbolic function when one thinks of the importance given to comfort. During the 19th century the Fouta is imported in Tunisia from Algeria where it remains a mandatory ceremonial costume made of costly silks, as well as being worn today in the mountains of Kabylie .

Traditionally, the weaving is done by men of the Shoowa from the Kuba ethnic group, while the embroidery is reserved to women. Ideally, the embroiderers should be pregnant. The technique is still practised. Originally the cloth was made using beaten wood bark but, since the introduction of raffia , only vestiges of this remain. Some belts duun are still made in bark they symbolize power and may be worn only by certain nobles. Bark is still used for certain loincloths for women Ishyeen . The center of these loincloths is formed of many triangles of bark, alternately black and white. These are cut out of the raw bark either natural, or dyed black and sewn together. The choice of this method rather than that of drawing is significant for the Kuba, value is measured by a work s difficulty. The fabric is made of very fine fibre from the inside of the leaves of young palm trees . The leaves are dried in the sun, then split along their length and connected to form a basic warp of raffia, from 2m to 4m in length. Fine leaf fibres are then interweaved in a woof to create the velvet effect. This is then wrapped around the waist to create a loincloth known as Mapel for men or Ntshak for women . The designs are very varied and are created spontaneously but normally follow the body scarification patterns of the Kuba. The cloth is heavy and expensive and is not normally intended to be worn, but is used as a bed covering or on the royal throne. Individual items take from several months to a year to produce. Cloths were used as currency or given as gifts.

Maya civilization Itzamnaaj Bahlam was a Maya civilization Maya king of Ucanal in Guatemala in the late seventh century. He is mentioned on Naranjo Stela 22 as having had his city burned on September 4, 698 by the forces of K ak Tiliw Chan Chaak , the ten year old king of Naranjo. ref Schele and Freidel 1990 189 191 ref On the front of this same stela he is shown nearly nude except for a loincloth, and with his hands tied and reaching up in supplication, groveling in front of and below the Naranjo king. The accompanying text states that this is a scene corresponding to the January 26, 702, suggesting that Itzamnaaj Bahlam may have been held a prisoner at Naranjo for over three years. Ucanal Stela 6 is badly eroded but the name of Itzamnaaj Bahlam can be seen at Glyph A4a. The date on this monument cannot be read but stylistically the stela fits better in the late eighth century than in the late seventh century, and it seems more likely that this monument refers to a later Ucanal king of the same name. A more likely connection to this Itzamnaaj Bahlam comes from one looted vase . This vase, painted in Naranjo style by one of the artists in the court of K ahk Tiliw Chan Chahk ref Reents Budet 1994 301 ref , bears the name of Itzamnaaj Bahlam, who carries the K an Witznal Ajaw title of the kings of Ucanal. These considerations make it almost certain that this is the same Ucanal king who was defeated by Naranjo. The big question remains as to whether this vase was painted for the Ucanal lord before Naranjo s attack, in which case there was obviously a major deterioration in the relationship between Naranjo and Ucanal between 688 and 698, or whether it was given after the defeat as a gift to a now compliant vassal lord. ref Mesoweb article on Itzamnaaj Bahlam by Stanley Guenter ref References reflist Category Maya rulers ... more details
