An Ancestral Art Gallery
Tuesday, January 13, 2015
The wavy but well-placed lines were still clear on the Harimau Cave walls. The brick-colored paint strokes were bunched together. Other wavy lines resembled a river. However, it was difficult to make out the motifs and colors because most had faded over time. This cave in Padang Bindu village, South Sumatra, was like a gallery of art on stone.
Tempo recently paid a visit to the historic cave. It took four hours by car from Palembang, the provincial capital, to reach it. The journey continued on foot via a path that crossed the Aman River. Compared to three months earlier, the route was clear of weeds and puddles, and the rough rocks were no longer slippery.
