The Maloh tribe are consider a sub group if the Iban and practice similar traditions and culture as the Iban tribe which are well known from their textile.

The condition of this skirt is very good however some part of the bead work has been restored and can be seen from the inconsistency of the beads. This skirt is estimated to be from the 19th century and was collected in the early 80s.
