520 3    |a 'Royal Lamba' from Madagascar, with explanatory notes by Rev A. R. Down (en), who was serving as a missionary with the London Missionary Society in Madagascar between 1937 and 1942. He states that the Royal Lamba was presented to him as the district missionary in which the Lamba had been made (Andriana), at a time when it had become apparent that the ancient customs surrounding the burial of Malagasy royalty would not be restored (i.e. following the French occupation of Madagascar and colonial rule). The age of the cloth is unknown. He states that "Several of the gold threads in the Lamba are woven from pure spiders web silk". There are three examples of cloth, but it is thought that only one of these is 'Royal Lamba'; one example appears to be of a finer quality with golden threads.
