Kaur Tapis, Antique textile from Bengkulu Province

Posted by Yayux at 7:42 AM 0 comments
Its very rare about publishing antique textile especially from Bengkulu Province Indonesia. I believe this is Tapis owner by Kaur Tribe, where the populated now at kaur regency, at border land between Lampung and Bengkulu province, south west sumatra, Indonesia. In Bengkulu province, the kaur tribe only posible have the Tapis textile in history.


This photo publish by Museum kenis. That give us a bit data :
object name sarong sarong

  • datering dating
  • voor 1878 for 1878

  • materiaal material
  • katoen; flanel; goud, gouddraad cotton, flannel, gold, gold

  • afmetingen dimensions

  • geografische herkomst geographical origin

These paintings are in southern Sumatra. Several museums have such canvases, although they are often damaged and sometimes of poor quality. This museum has about twenty of these paintings, but unfortunately sometimes the colors are not as clear as in this copy.

Tapis were worn by rich women and girls in festive occasions such as weddings. The paintings reveal influences from outside. Probably early Chinese traders introduced the embroidery techniques, from South Asia were imported silk and gold thread. All this is reflected in these paintings. The richness in South Sumatra was mainly due to the pepper trade.

Tari (Piring) Dewa Sembilan
Kaur (Semende) Culture

There are a small village name Muara Sahung, at Bintuhan as capital city of Kaur Regency, Bengkulu Province, Indonesia.

Muara sahung majority have as Kaur Culture and Semende as subtribe in this area. The location in southwest sumatra coastal where the border line Lampung province and Bengkulu province. Of course this area far away from big city, so thats why their culture be uncommon in public. That the challenge!

The dance with small plate hold at thumb and the candle on the head

One of my friend name Imrodilli made documentation photo at present event in Loka Karya dan Tata Ruang in Muara sahung village at year 2005. Due rare documentation about this culture, I decide to publish this photo event the custom dress possibly anappropriate with Kaur Custom Origin becaude if make the good one will be need to much fee.

That very important thing, how to introduce semende plate dance to public, right?

See the ten plate at the floor and the shoulder cloth as a base.

The rare and unique dance from Kaur (Semende) culture

Look amazing with small plate at thumb finger

The traditional instrument music call as rebab or rabana use to accompany semende plate dance

Posted by Yayux at 11:45 PM 0 comments
This is the traditional Kaur Custom Dress. The Kaur people (tribe) majority located at Kaur regency, Bengkulu Province, Indonesia. Kaur people be interior Rejang Land Lampung Land. The capital city Kaur Regency is Bintuhan.

Honestly. This the truely custom dress Kaur Origin. This is appropriate data in the museum, and old litelature. So I believe this the Kaur Custom Dress Origin.



Please see the detail lady kaur jacket at link and link . That appropriate also with collection from Volkenkunde Museum and tropen museum Netherland.

In Taman Mini Indonesia Indah( TMII) show the kaur custom dress like you see at link , pls take a look, that really different with photo above. I dont know what the reason. Or Kaur have custom dress similar like rejang tribe or lembak tribe? If it is wrong, who be responbility to spread out information about the wrong Kaur Custon Dress at TMII?

But I believe according with many data in old book and information from museum, the Kaur Custom Dress in photo above is the true one!

Sejarah Penduduk Kaur Bengkulu

Posted by Yayux at 10:55 PM 0 comments
Penduduk Kaur terbentuk dari orang-orang yang berasal dari dataran tinggi Perbukitan Barisan, yaitu orang Rejang dan orang Pasemah (Palembang), orang Lampung, dan orang Minangkabau. Minangkabau yang masuk melalui Indrapura masuk sampai ke daerah Kaur (Bengkulu). Di sini mereka bercampur dengan kelompok lain yang berasal dari Palembang, sehingga membentuk suatu identitas baru, yaitu orang Kaur.

Misalnya, di Marga Muara Nasal (Kaur) sebagian penduduknya berasal dari Minangkabau. Menurut cerita rakyat, daerah pesisir pantai ini mulanya dihuni oleh suku Buai Harung (Waij Harung) dari landschap Haji (Karesidenan Palembang). Sejak sekitar abad ke-18, mereka mendirikan kolonisasi pertama di muara sungai Sambat yang selanjutnya berkembang sampai ke Muara Nasal. Akan tetapi, pada saat daerah itu diambil alih oleh orang-orang dari Pagaruyung yang masuk melalui Indrapura, sebagian dari mereka terdesak ke Lampung. Mereka bercampur dengan penduduk setempat sehingga dikenal sebagai orang Abung. Sebagian lain suku Buai Harung bercampur dengan orang Minangkabau dan menjadi orang Kaur.

Penduduk yang bermukim di Kaur juga merupakan percampuran antara orang dari sekitar Bengkulu dengan orang Pasemah. Misalnya, di dusun Muara Kinal (Marga Semidang), keberadaan penduduk dimulai dengan berdirinya pemukiman orang-orang dari sekitar Bengkulu (onderafdeeling Bengkulu). Pemukiman ini bergabung dengan pemukiman orang Gumai yang berasal dari Pasemah Lebar dan menjadi satu marga, yaitu marga Semidang Gumai.Pergerakan penduduk dari daerah sekitar menuju Bengkulu terus terjadi sampai sekitar abad ke-19, yaitu percampuran orang Pasemah dan orang Kaur yang dimulai dari kedatangan orang Pasemah yang mendirikan pemukiman di hulu sungai Air Tetap (Marga Ulu Tetap). Selanjutnya, mereka bergabung dengan orang Kaur yang bermukim di Marga Muara Tetap, dan gabungan dua marga ini menjadi Marga Tetap.

Di Kaur terdapat juga orang-orang dari daerah Semendo Darat dari Dataran Tinggi Palembang (Marga-marga Sindang Danau, Sungai Aro, dan Muara Sabung). Mereka bertempat tinggal di Muara Nasal, sekitar 15 km ke arah mudik dari Sungai Nasal, dan bernama Marga Ulu Nasal. Penduduk Marga Ulu Nasal terbentuk dari campuran orang-orang dari daerah Semendo Darat dan Mekakau (Palembang). Kemudian di daerah Manna terdapat orang Serawai, yang menurut legenda berasal dari Pasemah Lebar (Pagar Alam). Mereka berpindah dan bermukim di dusun Hulu Alas, Hulu Manna, Padang Guci, dan Ulu Kinal (daerah Manna). Daerah pantai Lais mendapatkan tambahan penduduk yang berasal dari Minangkabau. Kedatangan mereka diperkirakan berkaitan dengan kedatangan pangeran dari Minangkabau ke daerah orang Rejang dan mereka menjadi cikal bakal Kerajaan Sungai Lemau. Selain itu, di daerah pantai juga terdapat orang Melayu, mereka memiliki daerah pemukiman sendiri yang disebut dengan ‘pasar’ dan dipimpin oleh seorang datuk.

Di daerah pesisir orang Melayu juga bercampur dengan orang Rejang sehingga pemukiman-pemukiman orang Melayu ini masuk dalam pemerintahan marga. Meskipun demikian, dusun-dusun tersebut tetap dengan sebutannya ‘pasar’, seperti pasar Seblat, pasar Kerkap dan di pimpin oleh seorang datuk, tetapi dusun-dusun tersebut adalah bagian dari pemerintahan marga. Orang Rejang, orang Pasemah, orang Minangkabau, dan orang Lampung selanjutnya terikat dalam satu kesatuan wilayah, yaitu Keresidenan Bengkulu. Mereka tersebar di daerah-daerah Bengkulu sebagai berikut:

1). Kelompok orang Rejang sebagian besar bermukim di daerah Rejang dan Lebong, dan sebagian lain berada di pesisir pantai bagian sebelah Barat dari Bukit Barisan, Lembak Beliti di Selatan, Seblat dan sampai ke Sungai Ipuh di sebelah Utara.

2). Kelompok Orang Pasemah atau Midden Maleiers yang dapat dibedakan menjadi:

  • (a).Orang Pasemah bermukim di bagian hulu sungai Manna, Air Kinal, dan Air Tello, dan di daerah aliran sungai Kedurang, dan sungai Padang Guci.
  • (b)Orang Serawai berada di daerah Manna, Bengkulu-Seluma, dan Rejang.
  • (c) Orang Semendo berada di daerah muara sungai Sungai Luas (Kaur)
  • (d) Orang Mekakau bermukim di hulu Air Nasal (Kaur) dan di marga Way Tenong (Krui).
  • (d) Orang Kaur bertempat tinggal di pesisir pantai daerah Kaur
  • (e)Orang Lampung bertempat tinggal di marga Way Tenong, sebagian besar daerah Krui, dan di aliran sungai Nasal (Kaur).
  • (f)Orang Minangkabau, terutama berada di daerah Muko-Muko.

Semoga tulisan ini menambah pengetahuan dan wawasan kita.
