It is commonly worn during Lombok’s cultural events, weddings, or even at school during the “Sabtu Budaya” (Cultural Saturday) program in the independent curriculum. The term “Sapuk” originates from the Lombok language and refers to a headband made from Lombok songket fabric. When worn, it serves as a protective head covering for the crown. The motifs on the songket and the broom (the headscarf) must match. The use of Sapuk is believed to help keep the mind away from negative influences.
