and have been handed down from generation to
generation.

indigenous or closely-knitted communities reflecting their
history and culture.
- these are arts passed down from master craftsmen to
their apprentices.
- the usual theme of these arts is animism

something of the people’s
gods and goddesses, thus
resulting in the creation of

sun, the moon and other
human figures.
