Rust Orange Navy Blue Striped Traditional Jacket

Empire / Regency · 1800s · South Sumatran

A short-waisted traditional jacket featuring distinctive horizontal striping in rust orange and navy blue bands across the body and sleeves. The front closure is secured by an ornate metallic clasp or brooch with geometric detailing at the center chest. The garment displays precise geometric patterning typical of South Sumatran textile traditions, with consistent stripe widths creating rhythmic visual bands. The jacket appears to be constructed from handwoven cotton with tight, even weaving. The cropped silhouette ends at the natural waist, and the sleeves appear to be set-in with the same striped pattern continuing seamlessly around the arms. The overall construction suggests ceremonial or formal wear within Indonesian cultural dress traditions.
