The cloth itself is a poignant symbol of the violent clash of cultures that took place in Indonesia during the colonial period. Its white-painted surface, which is believed to have been applied to conceal the bloodstains on the reverse side of the cloth, speaks to the brutality of the Dutch colonial forces and their efforts to suppress the local population.
