A woman's ceremonial skirt from the Lampung region of South Sumatra, in Indonesia. 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.
This one, is more simple, but it has a lot of real gold and real silver thread in it.
It is around 75 year old.
There is only one small hole in it,as far as I can see.
For the rest it is in a very good condition, considering it's age.
108 centimeter [42.5 inches] long and 123 centimeter [48.4 inches] wide.
Weight is 690 gram [1.52 pounds].
