This jacket with floral motifs belongs to the Dayak people of Borneo. A decorative panel at the back of the jacket features geometric motifs and human figures, while its border is embellished with an appliqué of buttons, which were obtained through trade. A fringe of tassel made from strips of cloth decorates the lower edge of the jacket.
