Description
English: Festival attire, Sumatra.
At festivals the women and girls of families of high rank, especially the Pembarales, Gindos and Penggawos, dress themselves in bright coloured materials of great value interwoven with silver or gold threads. They also wear rich gold ornaments on their heads. The girls, according to the Muhammadan religion, do not let themselves be seen except on these occasions.
