How to pronounce“lampung”in English

To a 19th-century viewer in Lampung, the tampan evoked reverence, which is emphasized by the artist’s use of red, a sacred color in that region.

It’s called tampan —a woven image exchanged by families in the Lampung province to celebrate important life stages, from births and deaths to building a new house.

And while tampan is mainly an art form of the past, wealthy Lampung women have continued wearing woven tapis skirts for centuries, usually for ceremonial purposes.
