This beautiful headpiece was crafted by hand by local artisans in brass and red cloth on the island of Bali sometimes during the 1970’s.

Udeng are key parts of the Balinese ceremonial attire, deeply rooted in the principle of Ngiket manah - control of the mind. They represent the belief that mastering one's thoughts leads to mastery over the senses. Each fold and pattern in the design is a reminder of the importance of mental discipline.
Worn during significant ceremonies, it shows the wearer's alignment with spiritual and communal ideals, reflecting both their heritage and personal commitment to maintaining harmony between mind and action.

The udeng comes complete on a black metal stand and its story printed out for you inside a beautiful envelope. The handmade metal support carry its own authenticity, with subtle imperfections and the potential for a natural patina to emerge over time.

Dimensions with the stand: 32 x 23 x 18cm
