about Ujung Pandang

Makassar, (Macassar, Mangkasar), which was known as Ujung Pandang between 1971 and 1999, is the provincial capital of Sulawesi Selatan, in Indonesia, on the island of Sulawesi.

Macassar oil was used by some men in the 19th century for a glossy hairdressing. It was so called because it was said to be obtained from the Makassar district. Cheaper imitations were made with perfumed castor oil mixed with olive oil and the like. At the same time, decorum had relaxed so much that men now lounged in the deeply upholstered furniture, lolling their heads back. Thus the washable antimacassar was invented.

Herman Melville, in Moby-Dick, (1851) digressed upon the oil used at coronations:

The ebony from the district, called Macassar ebony, is a warm black, streaked with deepest red, and highly prized for fine cabinetry and veneers.
