'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.'
