Download or read book Ethnic Jewellery from Indonesia written by Bruce W. Carpenter and published by Editions Didier Millet. This book was released on 2011 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ethnic Jewellery from Indonesia: Continuity, Creativity and Evolution is a compelling introduction to the little known visual power and beauty of the body adornments used by the myriad peoples of Indonesia s outer islands, including Sumatra, Borneo, Sulawesi, Sumba and Maluku. Illustrated with more than 500 rare pieces that have been accumulated since the 1970s by collector Manfred Giehmann, the book explores the depth and breadth of an ancient and magnificent tradition, revealing the fruits of careful documentation that has taken place over a period of decades. It will provide information on the origin, meaning and purpose of the jewellery items, as well as unique insights into the people who crafted and wore the jewellery for ritual or ceremonial functions. Ethnic Jewellery: Continuity, Creativity and Evolution is a definitive work on the subject and a testimony to the greatness of a fast-disappearing Indonesian tradition."

Book Synopsis Building on Batik by : Michael Hitchcock
Download or read book Building on Batik written by Michael Hitchcock and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-12-05 with total page 361 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The word ’batik’ is possibly of Malay origin from the word ’tik’ meaning ’to drip’ or ’to drop.’ The term is applied to a resist dye technique invented independently in locations as diverse as Ancient Egypt, Japan and Turkestan. Batik is a remarkably flexible textile technique and is suited to small-scale methods of production, but demand from the fashion and tourism industries is increasing. This volume brings together the experiences and concerns of the international community of batik producers. It gives voice to their suggestions for ensuring that the producers of this traditional craft are integrated into its increasingly global production rather than excluded from it. Building on the work of batik designers and producers the book discusses the emergence of a global craft consciousness. Batik producers report on innovative measures taken both individually and collectively to hold their market position while commercial producers frequently annex and mass-produce traditional batik design. The book concludes with a discussion of marketing and production innovations and tourism which enable the producers of batik to maintain the integrity of their designs whilst harnessing the benefits of new commercial forms.

Book Synopsis Plaited Arts from the Borneo Rainforest by : Bernard Sellato
Download or read book Plaited Arts from the Borneo Rainforest written by Bernard Sellato and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 560 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the richest basketry traditions in the world, the plaited objects produced in Borneo are created from plant materials gathered in the rainforest and worked by hand using techniques passed from generation to generation. Unrivaled in their combination of beauty, form, and function, they provide a unique window on the way of life of Borneo's inhabitants. Plaited Arts from the Borneo Rainforest recognizes this plaiting tradition as the primary creative expression of the peoples of Borneo, producing the most ingenious and aesthetically appealing material goods found on the island. Using a contextual and interdisciplinary approach that connects botanical and technical features with economic, social, and ritual elements, the book explores how people in Borneo rely on plaited articles, whether for daily use or in the ritual sphere. The sophisticated sense of design, rich iconography, and complex social and ceremonial efficacy of these objects are unsurpassed. Elaborately patterned mats from the Ngaju people of southern Borneo, for example, portray the cosmos and are the most prominent decorative features of the Ngaju ceremonial cycle. The sun hats of the Kenyah, using a unique resist-dye technique, display patterns that were once taboo to all but the nobility. The exquisite plaited designs of Iban seed baskets, stained red with the prized "dragon's-blood" pigment. show the importance of the planting ritual for the vital and sacred rice crop. The contributors to this volume are among the world's leading authorities of the arts of Borneo. These twenty-scholars and artisans are from ten different nations, including Indonesia and Malaysia, and from Borneo itself: Sarawak, Sabah, and Kalimantan. Their original work is supplemented by a selection of texts written by three pioneer authors that describe Borneo basketry before the Second World War. The volume is divided into twelve parts that cover the complex role of basketry in Borneo societies, the ethnobotanical and technical aspects of basketry, the distribution of plaited arts by region, the past and current market for Borneo's plaited arts, and style and identity. The abundantly illustrated Appendix surveys the relation between the tropical environment and the material culture. Illustrated with more than 1,250 color photographs, newly commissioned maps, rare historical photographs, and detailed line drawings, Plaited Arts from the Borneo Rainforest is an essential addition to the libraries of universities, collectors, and scholars alike. Publication of this book is supported by Total E&P Indonesie as part of its Corporate Social Responsiblity program for preserving Indonesian cultural heritage.

Book excerpt: Cultures contribute to the richness of this world through their uniqueness and variety - as do their material products. This is reflected in the ethnographic collections from Africa, the Americas, South East Asia, Oceania and East Asia at the Museum of World Cultures in Frankfurt. Using exceptional photographs, 130 everyday objects or ritual items are presented from the huge collection.The objects in this volume are described and interpreted simultaneously as works of art. The book questions the environment in which the work was created and which ideas about design, colour, form, symmetry, balance, etc., might have influenced their production. The common goal is to present what it is about these works that are exceptional, elaborate, other, perfect or imperfect in fact, harmonious or disturbing.
