Lamak Ornament
Lamak
um 1935 | Helene Potjewijd
Apparently, for centuries the Balinese have understood this fleetingness as an essential quality of the ritual. Nobody thought of recording the hundredfold patterns of the ornaments in pattern-books and handing them down to later generations. The transmission of the decorative forms occurred during the production process. At this time, the daughter learned from the mother, just as she had learned from the grandmother.
