Beadwork & Sculpture

Some of the TOP Hotels in Bali

Bali's most famous and crowded resort is Kuta beach, a six-kilometre sweep of golden sand, with plenty of accommodation, shops and nightlife. Nearby Sanur is much quieter, but most backpackers prefer the beaches of peaceful east-coast Candi Dasa and traveller-oriented Lovina on the north coast. The island's other major destination is the cultural centre of Ubud , a still charming but undeniably commercialized overgrown village, where traditional dances are staged every night of the week and the streets are full of arts-and-crafts galleries.

beadwork: With their marvelous color sense the Dayaks work with glass beads much more than most other Indonesian ethnic groups do. Tobacco and betelnut containers, bark cases of swords, baby carrying baskets, lids of baskets, mens' caps, headbands, hems of skirts, are all decorated with tassels and colored bead embroidery. Kenyah tribe beadwork is in mostly black designs against a yellow back ground.sculpture: Surreal, dynamic designs of sculpture in the round is seen most frequently among the Ot-Danum, Ngadju and Dusun groups in S.E. Borneo. Masks carved from a single piece of wood, bukung (black) or bukong (white), are bearded and have long eye-teeth. Some tribes fashion one meter high to lifesize sacrificial hardwood columns (temadu) with male and female figures representing the dead. Tall skinny wooden statues (always male) are set up at burial grounds with open arms, tusks, swords hanging from their waists, and accentuated penises because devils hate to see excited sexuality. Hampatong figures represent the live slave which once accompanied the Soul of the Dead to the other world and are designed to give protection against-evil. These have deformed faces, tongues sticking out, tigers sitting on top of their heads.
