Hi everyone. I just bought this mug at a shop in Malaysia. I've seen other stoneware mugs here that seemed to copy the old American barrel mugs...
That ring is really abstract. I like it
I was curious because of the copper tube in the center, which I can't find any examples of, except for this: [ATTACH]
Hello again. I got this bead in N. Thailand in the 90's. I always assumed it was a hilltribe bead and somehow put it away and forgot about it (I...
Those rings are beautiful. As far as Sumatra goes, the tribal days are long past, except for the Mentawi. If a tribe wants to stay a tribe, they...

I've made it a point not to revisit places in Indonesia that I saw in 91. Too depressing.
You don't know the half of it. I know people now who live in Kalimantan. The Apo Kayan area I visited then (which was wild jungle, people living...
