Handicraft / # Lichen Village / Central Aceh district

This artwork is handicrafts of elderly parents in the moss area in Central Aceh district.

The name of this craft is called by the name "Tapei"
This craft is made from grass trees that grow around fields that are not used anymore or in Swamp Rawa.

they collect wild plants in a way.
after they are cut from their habitat, the first stage they rip the square corner into two aspects.
which they use later. then they dried in the sunlight and after drying them by using "ngoem" they were mashed as a way of pounding rice manually.

This wild plant is triangular and elongated. The people of Aceh call it by the name "bak ngoem"

craft named "tapei" is used as a container of rice for traditional purposes in the area if there is a party like a wedding.

It turned out that not only the locals are interested in this grandmother craft called "sainah" but foreign tourists also often buy this craft when they travel to leuser mountain in Southeast Aceh district. because this place is a road to the city Blang kejeren. Aceh Tenggara.

The plaited form of plaiting invites the unique artistic power of this grandmother's hand named "sainah" and the blend of colors that the fingers of this grandmother compose in this "ngoem" thing is also unique to the unique cultural value of the area.

I think old people like this are very suitable for a work of art like this in filling day-to-day activities.

this is the figure of grandmother "sainah" or who in often called in the area with the title "inen Rus"
