The different ethnic cultures and ‘primitive’ art forms on Indonesia’s thousands of islands are tastefully presented in this publication. There are sections on wedding ceremonies, the court culture of Java and Bali, Wayang (a generic term covering many theatrical genres), Indonesian music and textile art. Ikat ( a method of weaving) and Batik (a method of dying) are explained. The photographs display intricate details of ceremonial masks, rugs, fabrics, and murals that typify the beautiful and distinct island cultures.
