Ujung Pandang is a big metalcrafts center where exquisite filigree Kendari
style silverware is sold. Gowanese are known for their brilliant brasswork;
brass bells and candle holders from Kuningan look almost Tibetan. Bugis
and Makassan women bedeck themselves out in jewelry and much of a family's
wealth is invested in womens' adornments. The traditional kebaya of the
Buginese is called baju bodo; the older the woman, the darker the color.
Jalan Sombaopu is chock full of shops selling gold and silverware, old
coins, tortoise shell bracelets, Tanah Toraja crafts, alligator skin,
horn artifacts, Bone woven goods, leather wallets, shell necklaces. C.V.
Kanebo, on the corner of JI. Pattimura and JI. Somba Opu, has crafts from
all over Indonesia. The Central Market contains spice stalls, colorful
silk cloth (85% of Indonesia's silk is produced in this provincel, unique
utensils. In Bone on the east coast, the most unusual baskets and boxes
are made out of orchid fibres. Salayar Island, off the south coast, has
much of its traditional technology such as fish traps, spearguns, spinning
wheels, still intact. Woven lontar hats are made in Jeneponto. Bugis flutes
look like recorders. Mandar farming communities make earthenware pots.
The Bugis produce probably the most attractively ornamented pottery in
Indonesia with the top half or two thirds of the dishes and bowls engraved
with flowers, leafs, human and animal motifs and figures. Hawkers come
round to the hotels in Ujung Pandang to flog 'antique' Chinese porcelain;
let the buyer beware.

we must point out a very important distinction which the Balinese make between
two clearly separate groups of ancestors. The first of these groups consists
of the dead who are riot yet completely purified. This group is in turn subdivided
in pirata, those riot yet cremated, and pitara, those already cremated. The
former are still completely impure; the latter have been purified, but are still
considered as distinct, individual souls. The second group consists of the completely
purified ancestors who are considered as divine. Everything Bali Indonesia |
