Hello Ganja Iras,
Very sad news indeed, and my sincere condolences to his family. We have lost a great hilt maker, I did not have the privilege to meet him in person but I thank the Lombok and Austrian friends who introduced me to his work and will remember Pak Tua Muh for ever whenever I see the great hilt which he made for me. Sorry for the picture quality but you can see the extremely fine weaving work.
Regards

Stunning works

Sad about the death of a master.

However, it is good to see that the art is continuing when so many other indigenous arts are dying.

yes, to prevent lost precious skills; someone has to continue the line. I am glad there are people who do so.
