A Suntiang is an elaborate crown worn normally by Minangkabau women in Sumatra for festive occasions. It has the shape of a radiant fan and is made out of golden material.

A piece worn by a bride for a wedding is called Suntiang Gadang, while the one worn by traditional dancers is called pasumandan.[1]
