Showcasing Indonesian traditional costumes, Aesan Paksangko, from Palembang, South Sumatera, once exclusively worn by nobility and royalty. Over time, its use has evolved, and it is now regarded as traditional bridal attire. The rich embroideries and intricate details of the outfit reflect the prosperity of South Sumatera’s ancient kingdoms and their robust regional diplomacy. The golden headdress, adorned with lotus and rose motifs, is influenced by Chinese-style headdresses.
