Mahkota Siger

Meanings:

Siger is the crown of a noblewoman in ancient times. It is a symbol of femininity, strength, and elegance of a woman. For Lampung people, women are very involved in all activities, especially in household activities. Behind women’s tenderness, there is hard work, independence, persistence, and feminine qualities. Although the Lampung community themselves are adherents of the patrilineal or father line, the women figure is important, both as an inspiration for the children and a driver for the success of their life partners.
