Reception
Tapis has come to be seen as a symbol of Lampung.
Stevie Emilia of the Jakarta Post describes tapis as having "exceptional beauty and sophistication", while Jill Forshee describes viewing tapis as "like seeing countless possibilities in art and life portrayed in cloth".
The price of tapis reflects its age. Generally, the older a tapis the more it costs. Antique tapis are also collectors items, collected by both Indonesians and foreigners.
