'Siger' Lampung headdress. South Sumatra 19th century

A traditional headdress known as siger Lampung. This ornate piece, often crafted from gold foil on metal, decorated with intricate floral and geometric engravings, is typically worn by women as part of bridal attire or during ceremonial dances and cultural events.The comb-like teeth at the base allow it to be secured into the hair, forming a crown shape that symbolizes nobility, beauty and dignity in Lampung culture. Historically, Siger designs date back to the 19th century or earlier, and they often feature motifs inspired by nature, ships or ancestral symbols.

These headdresses are part of a broader ensemble that includes tapis [woven sarongs] and other jewelry, reflecting the area's rich textile and metalworking traditions.
