Orang Asli and Their Wood Art
Orang Asli and their Wood Art gives a fascinating account of the art, culture, customs and beliefs of Peninsular Malaysia’s three main Orang Asli groups, the Negrito, the Senoi and the Proto Malays. This book provides a rare insight into the nomadic world and bamboo culture of Malaysia’s first peoples, who rely on the forest ecosystem for their everyday needs, but who never take more than necessary to survive. Lavish full-colour photographs by H Berbar capture the Orang Asli and their life in the jungle, from hunting with blowpipes, fishing with bamboo traps, to tattooing the face with jungle dyes.
Orang Asli and their Wood Art is an invaluable addition to the scarce literature available on Peninsular Malaysia’s first peoples.
