Iket (Sundanese: ), also known as totopong (), udeng (Sundanese: ; ) is a traditional headgear used throughout Java, Bali, and Lombok, usually made of batik fabric.
== Name == The term comes from the Sundanese language. Originally meant "to tie" or "to knot", it later evolved to specifically mean a type of tied cloth used as headwear. The term totopong is derived from the word tepung (to meet) with initial reduplication.
