Museum, Gallery and Heritage

Task 1 : Introduction to Museum, Gallery & Heritage 

Last few week ago we held a visited to national museum and international Islamic museum. We went there by car and we need to have our own camera to record or take a picture as an evidence for our research. We also do some discussion after the visited. In our discussion we need to pick one of the artifact that we see at the museum and make our conclusion about what we see and why we choose that thing.

This is some picture that I take from our visited:

In here the most interesting thing that I found was the Sepili & Moyang Figure. The Sepili figure is an object of worship which is use as a medium to transfer the disease from patient in "Benisoy" ritual, a traditional medicine system of Jah Hut. Similarly the Mah Meri use Moyang figure in their traditional ritual through "Sembuang" "Ancak" or "Sampan" . These figure are carved from pulai or tutor trees as an intermediary in healing ritual. 

This artifact was the symbol of the believe our Moyang before Islam come, they belief in something that can make they healthy by use Sepili. Other than that the made of this Sepili was the most interesting for me because the size of this thing was small and it look cute.

From the second place I found this pierced steel alam was the interesting thing for me. Pierced Steel Alam was from Safavid Iran and it is found on 17th century AD / 11th century AH. I choose this thing because I interested in how they making this kind of art. as we know the materiel of this thing was made by steel and it hard to make it. Other than that it also shows us the Islam has come to this place. They also make the weapon from this steel and as we can see the design of this steel also very interesting and very detail.
