Carving
  Carving  is an art created by removing material on wood, hard  shell of coconut, bamboo, stone, metal or other materials in order to create a  desired shape. The desired shape often takes the form of beautiful pictures and  wonderful adornments with sunken and convex shapes that is called  relief. Another shape of carving is transparent. Carving has many topics  inspired, more often than not, by floras, faunas, nature, human being and local  legend. The unique shape and pattern of Malay carving is resulting from the  stylization of both floral and faunal pattern, besides from calligraphy and  natural pattern. Malay carving in Riau, for instance, developed three models of  stilizied patterns of floras: kaluk pakis  (fern curve), bunga-bungaan (flowers) and pucuk  rebung (bamboo shoot); and of faunas: lining ants, hanging honeybees, group  of duck, dragon and bird. Such carving can be seen at Malay ship, potsherd,  tombstone, weapon, house and mosque‘s ornament, musical instrument, kingdom‘s  regalia, decoration and other materials. This portal explains details of carving  that available and developed in separated Malay districts.
