Lamak
um 1935 | Helene Potjewijd
In Bali, a tree or kekayonan is regarded as the source of human life. It is depicted on top of a little hill, or rocks, because as Balinese often say, everything that is alive has its roots in the earth, or has the earth as its base. All parts of a tree can be useful and important, whether it is the wood, the leaves, flowers, or fruits.
