Another Mystery?

A very interesting and good-looking piece. I especially like the way the ukiran has been cut on the back; very neatly done.

As for origins, I'm not speaking from any position of authority here, but to me the dress looks very Malaysian, especially the pendokok. I don't think I've ever seen anything like that from Sumatera, but would love to see pics if others have!

So would i Yuuzan. I'd love to hear from people even if they don't know what to make of this...105 views and only 2 people responding. Where did everyone go?

BTW, i also lean towards a Malay origin, though i can't say specifically where.
