Tapis Tua Lampung |
|---|
A woman's ceremonial skirt from the Lampung region of South Sumatra. A
skirt such as this was once the required costume for all ceremonial
occasions. Made of thick, striped cotton, which was handwoven, then
covered with traditional motifs including stylized human forms, dragons and
ships, rendered in thickly couched gold thread. As an important display of
wealth, tapis tua were heavily laden with gold, some weighing as much as
four or five kilos.
This one is in excellent condition,
approximately 50
years old.
122cm x 113 (Only half the skirt is visible in the photo, as it
is sewn together at the ends into a tube. If the vertical seam is opened,
tapis tua make striking display pieces.)
Price: US$699.-
