Oriental Sandal Wood
Carving Sculptures from Bogyoke Market
Oriental wood art
has a very
long tradition and is probably the most popular arts and
craft form in the east. Artist creating sculptures, carvings
and relief since centuries and in countries such as Myanmar
this is always family business where the little secrets are
passed from one generation to the next. Very popular are all
kind of wooden Buddha sculptures which are created from
teak, rosewood and sandalwood, made from precious sandalwood
means high prices, teal and rosewood is less expensive.
With this
natural base material many people are working and the
difference between art and craft is not much, it’s only in
the details. Buddha sculpturing got a big boost since
Buddhism is in with western celebrities and it is chic to
have a gorgeous statue visible in the house. This can also
be made from other materials such as jade in form of a Jade
Buddha.
In Indonesia, Malaysia and elsewhere wood masks are
available in certain ethnic special shops, they are created
after the old masks worn by indigenous tribes such as the
Dayaks of Sarawak, Malaysia and other, all this conveys a
mystic oriental aura and are a real eye catcher in a home.
Beside of the animals as wood art are very popular. When
walking the pagoda platforms there are always shops selling
Buddha figures, mythical naga creations, ogres and more. |
