Few days ago, I did a post on the Wood Art Craft Museum in Ipoh old town here. That is the 1st part of our visit and today's post is about the remaining part. From the Chinese Tea Leaves shop, we went up the stairs to the 1st floor. From there we were able to come down the stairs of the next door shop.
If you are coming from Ipoh new town using Jalan Sultan Iskandar (former Hugh Low Street), you will have to cross a bridge. From the bridge, you will be able to see this shop sign "Pooi Lee Pelukis Iklan Dan Bidai" on your right side. This shop specialized in Ad painting and shutter. Plus, you will notice that the 1st floor wooden windows of the first and second shop are painted in blue.
If you were to enter through the front, this wooden sculpture will be there to greet and welcome you. Entrance is free.
More wood craft from the 1st floor of both shops.
Wooden racks on the left and meat safe on the right.
Paintings on wood.
These were the tycoons of Tin Valley
Painting of a cat and a spider.
Traditional Chinese rustic wooden wall plaques.

Saw this front and back view of a block of wood, a tree trunk at the back lane of the shops.
Godly men are growing a tree that bears life-giving fruit,
and all who win souls are wise.
(Proverbs 11:30, The Living Bible-TLB)
A wonderful tour and a joy to see the master carvers on the wall.

DeleteJust amazing what can be done with wood. I didn't know that there was such a strong Chinese presence in Malaysia.
ReplyDeleteChinese makes up about 25% of the Malaysia's population. Sad to say, many of the generation have migrated overseas for greener pastures.

DeleteThis is quite lovely! So many beautiful things from wood. I am at My Tata's Cottage now but I am spending my days catching up and posting at both blogs and posted earlier at annesphamily.blogspot.com too. SOmehow their wires were crossed. I am unsure how to fix it so will post daily at each place as often as I am able. HUGS to you across the miles. This was a simply lovely post and your Scripture was excellent.

ReplyDeleteThank you, Jeevan.
DeleteMy problem when I see pictures of nice things like that... I wanna take them home! Don't suppose they're available for sale.
ReplyDeleteSome of the items are for sale, I noticed some have price tags.
DeleteOh so some of the items are available on sale, i would not be able to resist buying some home.
ReplyDeleteThis museum will love to welcome more visitors like you. Lol!
