In Bengkulu province, the kaur tribe only posible have the Tapis textile in history.

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.
