Sumba Island, located in the Lesser Sunda Islands, further east of Bali and Lombok, was once a lush paradise. However, large-scale agricultural and pasture development transformed it into an arid, barren land. As a result, the flora and fauna disappeared, and motifs of animals and plants are frequently seen in textiles and crafts, as if yearning for the past. The wooden carving of a Sumba boy riding a horse, which I found in a quaint antique shop in Lombok, may be a craft that carries on such sentiments. Although the carving is not particularly skillful, it is rustic and has a certain charm. It is made of dense, heavy wood.
