In this chapter we shall examine the art and in particular the applied art of districts other than Java and Bali, emphasis being laid upon the artistic achievements of those areas which remaind more or less isolated. Examples will also be give" from tribes which were probably influenced by post- Dong-Sor, civilization. This will show that a distinct connection can be established with primitive conceptions and decorative techniques, in many cases both with regard to the ceremonial and/or social function of the objects concerned, the decorative motif's employed, and the technique applied in ornamentation.

If occasional reference is made to a work of art from Java or Bali and to the influence exerted by these islands upon other areas of the Archipelago, that is a consequence of the fact that they arc treated separately here.

Of the great number of technical processes onlv the most important Ones will be mentioned, and technical descriptions which the layman would find difficult or impossible to follow will be omitted. This chapter is arranged according to the various materials worked. In conclusion it should perhaps be noted that especially it, the present century many of the techniques described have fallen into disuse. The reasons for this will be discussed in the final chapter of this work.
