Borneo's Dayak handicraft, the beauty of ancient tribal arts and handmade crafts
The peoples of Borneo island have produced major works of art and crafts based on their own culture. Museums testify to the high aesthetic value of these art works, some of which is now extinct.
The Borneo Island, the People, and Their Culture
Major exhibitions here and there have been devoted to Bornean art, more frequently in recent years than ever, and an international symposium was held recently in Kuching. This trend will most likely carry on. Prices for Bornean artifacts on the art market and in the world's major auctions amply sustain this view, further supported by a number of recent articles in art journals.
