Sumatra Kauer Textile Jacket w/ Cowrie Shells, ca. 1900: Indonesia, Sumatra, Lampung, Kauer peoples, ca. 1900 CE. We are so impressed by the artistry and skill required to create this jacket which was intended for a young unmarried Kauer woman! Comprised of hand-woven cotton fabrics that are beautifully stitched together - the sleeves and bodice display alternating, symmetrically arranged panels of striated gold, crimson, and slate blue hues with solid cornflower blue panels - the wide trim down the center presents an elaborate embroidered calligraphic pattern with tiny gold-hued "mirror" inlays called cermuk - the collar is comprised of vintage fabrics adorned with additional gold-hued mirror inlays encircled by red glass seed beads and miniature cowrie shells. All hand-stitched to a natural linen panel for display. Size: jacket 55" W x 10. 5" H (139. 7 cm x 26. 7 cm); panel 62" W x 26. 5" H (157. 5 cm x 67. 3 cm). . Given the weight of this jacket, it would have been carried in a tampan to a destination to be worn for a celebration. The cowrie or nassa shells were most likely stitched to this jacket as an expression of hope that the young lady wearing the jacket eventually would have many children. The wonderful geometric patterns featured on the jacket reflect ancient Dongson imagery. . .
