Sculptures of ancient Sumatra

Suleiman, Satyawati

F. M. Schnitger mentioned many sculptures in his book: The archaeology of Hindoo Sumatra Though we know the places where the images and monuments were found, we regret that detailed descriptions, discussion of styles and cultural relations are lacking. For when we observe the photos of the images, we wonder where they were made. Was there a local school of sculptural art, or were the pieces imported? Were certain styles from another country followed or did the sculptors invent their own style? An attempt will be made in this paper to compare the images published by Schnitger with similar ones from other areas with the aim to find and answer to these question. More knowledge on the relations of Sumatra with other countries may result from this brief study.
