Shows what the fertile imagination of unheralded folk artists can accomplish with simple tools and indigenous materials within the context of their own cultural milieu, at once physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual. A useful source of information on an impressive range of decorative motifs and designs, their usage as well as their probable connection with other living art forms within and beyond Southeast Asia. (Source: http://www.ateneopress.org) Caters to inspire today's Filipinos who have been deprived of a chance to discover and better understand many ethnic art forms as an authentic reflection of social history.
