The work from the past of Sumatra was found in a village in the hinterland of northern Aceh. The site was abandoned in a location almost like a small forest, much covered with bushes. Only the good fortune that direct CISAH to find a historical object, which is derived from the 15th century. The floral motif itself appears to have been the theme of nature where the artist lives, but on the other side, it also looks like the existence of an influence of Chinese art in carvings. We think that kind of flowers have appeared in ancient ceramics made in China.
However, this will be one of the interesting objects to be studied in the future, and CISAH submitting this picture so that you can enjoy a piece of art from the ancient times of Sumatra. And another thing, is to be noted, that in the lush tropical dense forests, humans there has reached a level that is laudable in arts and culture since the past.
Thank you
And:
Chairman of CISAH, Abel (Abdul Hamid)
