CULTURE- ART and CRAFT in MALAYSIA ❤
Crafts of Malaysia are varied and it reflects the multiculturalism of the country. The major crafts of the country are Batik, Songket, Woodcarving, Menkuang, Kite Making, Keris, Boat Making and Ratan Weaving. Batik features collared designs on cotton or silk, produced by using wax to the parts of the textile left uncoloured. Songket is a form of craft that descends from the Pattani courts and it is used generally on special occasions. This form of craft is known as the “cloth of gold” and is created by interweaving threads with gold and silver strands.
