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.
However, art amateurs are left unsatisfied with the documentation available to the general public. A couple of books have restricted their scope to Sarawak art, and scores of books on Indonesian art devote but a few pages to Borneo. A tremendous amount of dated and recent articles and studies are scattered in scientific publications and so not easily accessible to the public.Information on this site is entirely dedicated to Borneo and covering all art forms, aims at providing amateurs and the general public with a thorough and comprehensive, yet accessible, overview of the cultures and their arts.
