Ukiran Kayu: Unique Malay Woodcarving
Description Malay woodcarvings express the national identity of the Malay people and their delicate patterns convey messages including verses from the Quran, ancestral wisdoms, and knowledge. Every element of nature can become a motif in such carvings, which have a variety of designs according to each purpose and boast sophisticated aesthetics and functionality. This unique woodcarving art has been transmitted through professional woodcarvers, with a regrettably small number of woodcarvers remaining today. This video demonstrates the prowess of Malay woodcarving art through the life and works of Wan Mustapha, a master woodcarver.
