Keringkam

The Keringkam / Selayah is a head scarf embroidered with botanical motifs in gold thread. It is unique to only Sarawak and Brunei. The traditional Keringkam / Selayah was short, measuring about 54 cm by 95 cm and made of a thin transparent voile or synthetic cloth.

Its refined design and embroidery brings out that stylish appearance of the artwork with a touch of unique splendor. The Keringkam head scarf was often worn by the women of the aristocrats in official ceremonies together with Kain Songket in the nineteen-sixties.
