Object no. 11 (Object list Antonie Brandeis, 1st consignment April 1900, SAF D.Sm 35/1): "Two mats. Serve as a woman's skirt. Miridj. pandanus leaf. Braid with raffia". Supplementary note: "The women's clothing consisted of two mats, the front one of which was tied on first. They were held together with a cord. The women chiefs wore a larger mat tied round the back, on which they sat down to protect the other two. The mats are always woven in pairs and today serve as petticoats. [...] The thick mats are made from fallen leaves of the pandanus tree and are sewn together using bone needles No. 66."
. Fine mats of this kind are called neided in the Marshall Islands. The collector may have meant this term when she wrote down "miridj", which sounds very similar.
