Story
Of Bali, Indonesia
Finally
a particular type of jewellery should be mentioned which
is found in Atjeh and the Barak districts. Apparently
modeled upon a much more ancient process, already referred
to in connection with Batak brass casting, certain objects
are decorated by soldering on little silver balls and/or
filigree bands. sit places other than Sumatra, gold
land silver is worked into all manner of filigree jewellery
in the village of Kendari in south-eastern Celebes.
The
two islands on which gold and silversmiths have produced
exceedingly beautiful objects, Java and Bali, will be
dealt with later.
Indian
civilization is hardly, if at all differentiated, i.e.
its various aspects, such as religion, science, art,
and social systems do riot exist independently o one
another, art form a single entity which cannot be divided
into its component parts.
The essence of art in a civilii2tior, of this kind can
therefore only be comprehended when examined in conjunction
with other aspects, in particular with the religion
and general outlook of the people concerned. For it
is religion which in the main determines the 'why and
wherefore' of artistic creation and activity, and its
significance and content can only be understood from
this angle.
