It is more like a decorative hat for those high towers of food the Balinese (and some other Indonesians) make as offerings, mostly during the ceremonial period of Galungan and Kuningan.</p><p>These are the offerings being carried to the temple (strong women!). These don&#039;t have the covers, but plaited palm leaf &#039;Cili&#039; decorations:</p><p><img src="https://s14-eu5.ixquick.com/cgi-bin/serveimage?url=https%3A%2F%2Fbaliartandculture.files.wordpress.com%2F2016%2F02%2Fgalungan5.jpg&amp;sp=5d595adcd3f3c740bf5bf05ca1ff5a99" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>The offerings at a temple, adorned with covers, like hats, similar to yours:</p><p><img src="https://thejournalstory.files.wordpress.com/2016/09/balinese-offering.jpg?w=620&amp;h=413" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Penjar, very tall decorations for ceremonies, with more Cilis at the end.
