|a Inhabiting over four million square kilometres, the peoples of South East Asia are able to draw upon the resources of many ecological zones, and their arts illustrate a range of local preferences enriched by external elements. Geographically, and to some extent culturally, this region can be divided into mainland and island zones, the former predominantly Buddhist, the latter Muslim. But despite the absorption of Hindu, Buddhist, Islamic and Christian norms by South East Asia rulers during the first millennium CE, pre-existing customs were generally retained, so that while the arts of South East Asia are internationally informed, their uniqueness has persisted to this day. -- The varied objects exhibited display the resulting cultural diversity. They come from Myanmar (Burma), Malaysia and Thailand, and from different parts of Indonesia; and they cover several media, and include Burmese tapestries, Malay and Indonesian textiles, a bejewelled chest with lacquer manuscripts, illustrated manuscripts of astrology and magic as well as an illuminated literary text, silverware, and Buddhist sculpture. |
