See 397-2945 to 2952. Same occasion but there is no negative for this shot. This is Rejang at Batuan. See plate 4 of Dance and Drama in Bali, taken by Rudolf Bonnet and Fig 51 in Hitchcock and Norris. Rejang dancers seen from the front, wearing prada around torso; long dark skirt cloths trailing, each carrying fan. The last comment suggests it may have been considered for Dance and Drama in Bali, where Plate 4 is of Rejang from Batuan seen from behind.
