Sarawak Crafts

by Heidi Munan

Published 1 December 1988
The carving, metalwork, plaiting and basketry, beadwork and weaving of the Borneo people of Sarawak reflect their environment, beliefs, and their simple way of life. Although market demands and the availability of materials are bringing about many changes, the skill and artistry of the indigenous people of Sarawak remain.
