'Tampan', Ceremonial
cloth, Paminggir people, Lampung Sumatra.
Of all Sumatran textiles, tampan enjoy the widest
range of ceremonial use; once owned by almost every Lampungese family,
and serving not as clothing or decoration but as reminders of the bond
with the sacred world. Used at various rites de passage and gift-giving
ceremonies. While a boat structure is evident at the bottom of this
tampan, the scene is dominated by two huge dragon-like creatures. When
Krakatoa erupted in 1883 the vast tsunami that followed ended the rich
tradition that produced these textiles and those that remain are prized
heirlooms, 'pusaka.'
