An Honored Guest, again.

I recently spoke at the Anthropology Department at the University of North Sumatra.  Afterwards I was presented with another Ulos.  This one is from the Mandeling subgroup of Batak.  Each subgroup or Marga has their own distinctive style.  Further there are different kinds of ulos depending on the occasions: honoring someone, marriage, a funeral or a wedding.
