ARTS AND CRAFTS 0F LOMBOK

Carving

Most carving on Lombok is to decorate functional items, typical applications are containers for tobacco and spices ,and the handles of betel-nut crushers and knives . Material’s include wood , horn and bone . A recent fashion is for primitive – style elongated masks , often decorated with inlaid shell pieces .

Ceramics

Pots made of earthenware using local clay [gerabah] have been made on Lombok for centuries . They are shaped entirely by hand [without the use of potters wheel] , coated with a slurry of clay or ash to enhance the finish , and fired in simple kiln filled with burning rice stalks . Pots are often finished with a covering of woven cane for decoration and extra strength .

Basket ware

Lombok is noted for its spiral woven grass-rattan basket ware , bags made of lontar or split bamboo, small boxes made of woven grass and plaited rattan mats . decorative boxes of palm leaves made in the shape of rice barns and decorated with small shells are lombok exclusive .

Weaving

Several classic Indonesian weaving techniques are used and produce weft ikat an old hand –and-foot-operated looms-the weft threads are systematically dyed before weaving , and the pattern emerges as they inter-woven with the warp threads stretched on the loom
