Bone carvings.
Bone carving in Bali, Indonesia, is a rich, traditional art form using cow/buffalo bone and horns to create intricate decorative items and jewelry, originally tied to Hindu mythology and spirituality, with artisans in villages like Tampak Siring transforming animal by-products into cultural artifacts, often featuring deities, mythical creatures like Garuda, and spiritual symbols for homes, temples, and international markets. The process involves sterilizing bones (often from slaughterhouses), carving with chisels and files, and polishing, turning organic material into detailed sculptures and functional art.

we die forgotten
The Chorus - Cunning, not the feat of arms, brought fair Ilium low, Unmasked Achilles gambit leading him to Troy, Drove the swift knife into Iphigenia's breast To ply cruel Artimus for fair following winds. But the fates cut many lives short on Ilium's shores Hopes of glory dashed for thousands who fought and died Their shadows haunting Hades’ dark, lifeless halls: Noble Hector no match for enraged Achilles, Nor the son of Peleus, Paris' swift arrows. Who won the laurel of Achille's golden armor And was named Greatest of the Greeks if not Ajax? But he who knew no honor save ruthless cunning, Wily Odysseus, gained both, and the better man, Mighty Ajax, fell upon his sword in sorrow, His soul traveling the lonely roads to Hades’ keep. But the gods' wroth did not end at the sack of Troy, Agamemnon would rue his daughter's sacrifice When his wife and her lover knifed him in his bath. But he who deceived Troy with the horse filled with Greeks Would spend ten long years failing to return to home....
