Princess Astrid in Lampung traditional dress and headpiece.
Lampung is one of Indonesia's province located on the island of Sumatra. It was once a kingdom, before joining the Republic as a province. However, the royal attributes are still locally upheld as
adat.
Princess Astrid was given the title "Suhunan Ratu Mahkota"


The headpiece,
siger or
sigokh, has seven or nine peaks. They are either used to mark royalty, nobility, or used as bridal crowns. The bigger, more elaborate, and heavier it is, the higher up you are. Sometimes, it is not only to mark a person's status (based on birth/wealth), but also based on contributions to society. (For instance, scholars, etc).
