RINGKASAN KANDUNGAN

Crafted in Malaysia contains articles on five crafts in Malaysia, namely textiles, metal crafts, ceramics, forest based products and ethnic crafts. The histories of the crafts are presented by the writers to assist us with understanding their background and developments. The book also records the wisdom of the artisans who did not completely accept or reject foreign influences but adapted them to suit local preferences. The transformation of crafts from being mere utilitarian products into social symbols is explained, as is the symbolism of patterns and designs present on the craft products.
